910Usd Gaming Computer

[xeored]

Hi! I'm am building my first gaming computer, right now I'm on an old gtx 260, i7 office / watching cat videos computer that my parents friend put together out of spare parts. I would be ok ordering from the UK, if i need to order it from the US I would have to cut down the price becouse of the shipping cost. I was planning on getting the new GTX 970 and maybe an i5. If really necessary I can pay 980usd. I am planning to run 2 144hz 1ms 1920x1080 24inch ASUS monitors, I am also planning on getting the Razer BlackWidow Chroma and the DeathAdder Chroma (these are not in the price). I am gonna play games like CS Go, Battlefield, a litte CoD, GMod and other games to have fun with some pals, I am going to bring this computer to a couple of school LAN's so I don't wan't a full tower really. If anyone got any thing to say about this please do.

one is almost half of your budget.......

 

for £550 ($910 in pounds)

 

I would likely go for an AMD APU build, seeing as you need to buy monitor, keyboard, mouse, case and all the hardware inside.

Even with a cheaper monitor, your requirement of a GTX 970 makes it hard for us to plan a balanced system.  You should wait for the GTX 960 to come out because games like CS GO and GMOD aren't all that system intensive anyways.

agreed planning in a 970 wil likely make us need to back off in the CPU department.

 

an i3 and 270 would make a pretty cheap budget rig, leaving room to updrade to i5/i7 and a better GPU down the road.
