Is this a good set up ?

[ryan720]

Ok, this is my first full on gaming pc build and i have done some digging and got a parts list together but im unsure if it's any good or if anything is better, my budget is £1000, i also am yet to pick a case.

Do you plan to OC?

OC could be done in the future, but right now i want a build that can be used for gaming but is OC in future if needed

Power supply isn't that good

 

This one is much better and would do SLI as well with an SLI capable board - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-014-SF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2057

 

Get a different board if you plan on SLI.

 

I would get a bigger SSD as well. A 120GB will fill up pretty quickly.

The SSD is mainly ofr the OS and a few other programms

What about games though ? You really should be running games as well from the SSD as standard hard drives are very slow in comparison.

 

Windows will take a big chunk of space (20GB+) so you won't have an awful lot left. You can get a 250/256 SSD for an extra £20 anyway. 

 

This Crucial MX100 256GB is only £76 and it is very good - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-internal-hard-drive-ct256mx100ssd1
