hi guys, im planning a new build for gaming and the total cost at the moment is about £1700, the main games i play is like battlefield, cod, GTA "Can't wait for GTA V on pc" assassins creed.

 

it will have

 

Core i7 4790k

Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1

memory unknown yet about 32gb

Dual GTX 970's in SLI

250Gb SSD

NZXT H440

Corsair 1200w PSU

Custom water cooling loop including GPU's and Flow Bridge

 

would you suggest buying bit by bit or just saving the whole £1700 and then getting the parts in one go.

 

im able to save about £100 per week from my wages after bills so i guess i could save and get the parts but then there's temptation to buy bits :(

 

thanks for you help:)

Just get the parts in one go, you'll never know which parts are DOA if you by them bit by bit.

Agreed, I had this temptation to but i'm still saving a couple weeks :). Can't wait after almost saving for half a year, i'm 16 years so saving doesn't go so fast.

cheers guys, means im gonna have to get some overtime in at work to save the money quicker and not go spending on eBay haha:) i guess 32gb is abit overkill yeah and 16 would do for now. i have 8gb in my current system and have to admit that i haven't run out of memory yet.
