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 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

My baby: CPU - i7-4790, MB - Z97-A, RAM - Corsair Veng. LP 16gb, GPU - MSI GTX 1060, PSU - CXM 600, Storage - Evo 840 120gb, MX100 256gb, WD Blue 1TB, Cooler - Hyper Evo 212, Case - Corsair Carbide 200R, Monitor - Benq  XL2430T 144Hz, Mouse - FinalMouse, Keyboard -K70 RGB, OS - Win 10, Audio - DT990 Pro, Phone - iPhone SE
