new PC Build

[Mrcrysis2000]

What do you guys think i've gone for a red and black theme build, my budget is around £1100 :)

 

Like to see what you think

I think it would be worth waiting for the new generation of CPU's from Intel and new GPU's from nvidia.

I don't know what you plan on playing with a 650ti but it isn't going to be much :P Save money on other shit and get a better gpu

[MPX309]

Get a GTX 660  :D

still not gonna get you TO much though, get atleast a 670 and save on some other things like that psu is a bit overpriced, and the ram is faster than you will need.

670 is a bit expensive. If he is going to save up a little more he should grab a 660 or a 7870 (preferably the 7870 as it is better)

If on a strict budget now and Looking at spending more money later to improve performance i would strongly recomend saving a few dollars on the psu and ram and ditch the ssd and pour all that money into the GPU 650 sli with all the new gen games coming out isnt going to last you that long unfortunatly :(

Add an ssd later as an upgrade rather than another 650 and youll be plenty happy :) who knows 660ti sli sounds nice to (7950 cough)

Also what would this system be mainly used as if for gaming Spending less on GPU than MB and cpu would not be cool :( if for productivity and such would be plenty fine to go 650....

[BlackOutCrisis]

To be specific what I think you should do it get rid of the SSD, lose the h60 (better to get a proper all in one anyways) and just grab a cheap 212 evo for now you can upgrade to a better all in one later. Grab a g45 gaming series instead of a gd65 motherboard. Take all that extra money and grab a MSI twin frozr 7950.

maybe something like this?

I agree about the h60,disagree about the SSD (though I think he should get a cheaper SSD),agree about the hyper 212,agree about a different mobo though not sure about the g45,and agree about the 7950.

 

something like this could work.

I would rather personally use a HDD for awhile then grab a decent SSD down the road that is the size that I want then bu a cheap SSD from the start and be screwed with it :P

 

But the g45 gaming board is a pretty good board, especially for its cost. I have the regular g45 and I love it.

Is it a 650ti or a 650ti boost?

[mvitkun]

theres a list at the very top lol.

boost,btw.

[Evrion]

The 650 is a little weak. You have some more "premium" -ish parts, like the SSD, and the case.

 

I would suggest getting a cheaper case, ditch the SSD and go 7870/660, or 660Ti/7950 even.

 

I know the SSD will make using the computer nicer in general, but it really won't help gaming that much. If it was my PC, I would spend on the gaming critical components first, then get what you can for the rest.

[Nicktrance]

You might also get a cheaper air cooler instead of the H60, maybe an EVO 212. You might want to get a cheaper PSU, motherboard, RAM and SSD (same capacity, cheaper model) and save that money for a better GPU.

[notenoughtv]

I would spend a bit more on the GPU. You could maybe go with an AMD platform if you want an unlocked but cheaper cpu

Actually he should be able to save some money by using an AMD 8350, and he'd get similar performance.

i saw in amazon a gtx 660 ti 3 gb version for 260$ used but, its from amazon so it should be in perfect condition, 80$ more than the boost but 30-35 % boost against 650 ti boost

[needmorewood]

id say ditch the ssd for now and get a 7870 or if ur budget allows a 7950
otherwise it looks pretty good
any other suggestions would only save you 10 dollars here and there
