I have recently done an AMD Gaming PC Build.

 

I have now decided however that I would like to build an intel PC for a friend who is currently going through a hard time. He has always lent towards intel or I would duild an AMD PC.

 

I need a very good Intel Gaming PC including a Monitor and Mechanical Keyboard for around £1000 - £1200 or $1650  - $1950

 

Thanks

No, Evga nex PSU's are awful and loud. They are a horrible choice for the price though. Why would you get the NEX ones anyways if you have the 750 G2 for 10£ more? Way better build quality, better fan profile along with a quieter fan, gold rating, far better electrical performance, fully modular, fan that turns off at low loads etc.

There isn't a whole lot of choice on 650W Modular power supplies, so I stuck the 750W G2 in there. The Superflower Leadex 650W is more expensive, so it makes sense to go with the EVGA.
