Requesting build help

ConnorEfc · September 14, 2015

Looking for some advice on a build I'm doing for a friend.

Budget is £1000~ (gone slightly over but I'm trying to bring it down slightly with maybe a cheaper motherboard.) for the tower, monitors and accessories.

Haven't been exactly keeping up with whats good recently so I though I'd check it over with some people who are more informed.

Build is mostly for gaming but will be used for other work aswell.

So far I've came up with this: LINK

Any suggestions on ways to improve the overall build while keeping it around the £1000(GBP) range are appreciated.

Use this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ to make ur build.

And your right that mobo is way to expensive.

Should prolly cut down like 100 off the mobo and put that to a better video card, with ur budget get a AMD one. Lower to mid tier video cards right now AMD is better.

Yeah, I really had no idea what to choose for it so I went with what I'd seen in another build. Seemed a bit expensive haha.

Your mobo is excessive and the monitors aswell

Also since u want 2 montiors AMD video cards at that price point are better, they have more vram which more monitors eat up.
