Building a PC, need help.

[inactive2344]

First time using this forum d;

 

Anyways, I was on Toms Hardware looking around, asking for the best possible PC for around £800, and this guy said everything is good apart from your power supply. 

 

This build : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/gXLxMp

 

Then, I ask about the cooling on another post I made, and then all of a sudden, this guy comes out with "Your PC is made for overclocking, and your GPU price is silly", and then makes me a PC roughly the same price, with a better GPU and air cooling instead. That build : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Np3Vzy

 

Now I am just stuck. I don't really know which one to go for.

 

Please help 

 

P.S Sorry for going a bit off topic

And, it's also my very first time building a PC, so I am a newbie at this stuff.

[Altecice]

id go for the second build. The main changes are 960>970 (more powerful graphics card) and changing the I5 from a 'K'  (unlocked multiplyer and allows for overclocking) to a non 'k' version of the same processor. I guess as this is you first pc you wont be overclocking it at all so yeah go for the second build its the best of the two IMO.

I recommend this:

The R9 390 is even better than the GTX 970.

Go for the second build or the build from above. Except NEX series PSU. Get G2 series or GS series instead.

i'd definitely save up more and buy an r9 390 instead (no faboyism here) that "IF" you don't mind the additional power consumption and heat output.

I'd choose Windows 8.1 key then install it through USB and upgrade to 10 with the free upgrade which will save some money on the optical drive. the R9 390 will give some a little more performance than the 970. I've also went back the the i5 4690k with a cheaper Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler which is a very good cooler for it's price. And for the PSU I've went for a EVGA 80+ Bronze Power Supply which is good enough for your build.

second one should have higher fps but you will not be able to sli

would still  go for second one

[inactive2344]

Well, this forum is good, I'll tell you that for sure!

 

But now, I don't know what to choose from!

 

There are so many options here. I might look into getting the R9 390 8GB, that's for sure.

 

I like Morgan MLGman's build, and Altecice makes me want the second option.

 

THERE'S TOO MUCH TOO CHOOSE!

That one sucks to be honest spend altleast 50GBP more it gives you a r9 390 and you can get rid of 3.5 GB GTX 970 

That is the best bet you got

900 GBP is the premium budget

So, if I got all the parts you picked and just upgraded to an R9 390, would that be alright?

Also is there a big difference between the R9 390 and the R9 390X?

Yes !

[sms1202]

No the difference is not worth the extra $100

Get the R9 390 NITRO or the WINDFORCE or STRIX ! They will be on par with a reference 390X
