Hi, I really do not know much about PC's. At the moment i'm just gaming on a friends old pc, which is okay if you like horrid fps and low graphics, therefore I think it's time I buy my own gaming PC (I mostly play DayZ: SA, LoL and other steam games).

 

I have a budget of around £650 ($960). I don't need a monitor, mouse or OS etc. It would be nice to have a PC that could run GTA V on high graphics, if possible for my budget.

 

I have made a build on pc part picker, please could you guys let me know if it's good/ bad and where I could improve it/ save money? And can you guys tell me how you think DayZ and GTAV will run on it? It would really be appreciated.  :)

If you go with the r9 280 you can get a little bit more performance and you could get a single ram stick of 8 Gb's if you are going to upgrade down the road. Other than that it is good

If MSI H97 is cheaper then get that as Z97 is not needed for non-K CPU.

Nice build :) I would keep GTX960. Your friend will be very happy.

I'm not sure but think EVGA cards can turn their fans off when not needed. Better doublecheck that if u want absolute silence (u have chosen silent case).

Just saying because my MSI 760 can't go under 30% fan speed (no silence for me)

Connection: 200mbps / 12mbps 5Ghz wifi

^This.

 

Kinda sucks that Nvidia doesn't like 3GB on their cards. It seems like a sweet spot.
