[Val91]

Well then get one, you can get it dirt cheap anyway, also I will try to get you 16GB of RAM. Any color/size prefference?

 

Yee I am looking for RED colour, and it dosen't matter how large the rams will be, because I think I will be able to get from my girlfriend for my birthday H100i

Get a mechanical keyboard with switches you like the most, if you aren't sure then head over to a computer store and try diffirent types of switches, there are Cherry MX Blue, Brown, Red and Black switches which feel diffirent. Get the RAM I suggested in my perivous post.

I choosed corsair vengenance 8 Gb 1600 mhz red. I will have a look at the keyboards as suggested and I think my build planning is done now, I will start to assemble it hopefully after two weeks. Thank you for your help and time lachyman!!!

No problem, it was a pleasure.

Also you can mark this solved to make organization easier and when you build it you can take some photos with your new camera and make a build log here

If there are any other suggestions I am happy to hear them and I will post pictures of my build log on linustechtips forum.

Which PSU should I go for? And can you send me links with Ram suggestions, please. There is a dillemma between I5 and I7, because I have bought a new camera and I will try to learn to do magic with photoshop and my girlfriend is taking loads of pictures already, so I think I7 is like a future proofing for possible need for more threads.

Unless you're doing very heavy photoshop, the 4670k would be just as good as the 4770k for the job. Can you get a discounted 4670k as well or is it just the 4770k?

Sorry guys that I did not quote, I am kind a new. I can buy parts separately, both of them are new. As I understand the deal on the mobo is bad, so what should I choose instead?

What's your total budget? From what I've seen so far, it looks like you're spending more than you originally planned.

I thought that my build plan is nearly finished, but it is always better to have as many information and views as possible before any action.

So I can get i5 4670k discounted too at around 90 GBP and my total budget is around 1000 GBP, I will also get SSD 240 Gb 520 series Intel for 150 GBP, all parts are new. I was reading somewhere what new games will take an advantage of more than 4 threads, should I believe these rumors or not, if yes then i7 is future proofing, if no I am spending money, lol. What do You think about GTX 770 and future proofing? Should I go for bigger vram? What do you think about Asus GTX 670 4 Gb, GTX 680 2 Gb and MSI 680 2Gb ( these cards are getting very cheap, especially Asus GTX 670 4Gb)? I am an Nvidia fan boy, but rumors about new AMD graphic cards and their power are very promising, therefore should I wait till their launch?

150 GP is pretty expensive for a ssd of that capacity.

Games are starting to take advantage of more cores but not so much with threads--especially Hyperthreading.

The 7970 has more vram, neck to neck performance with the 770, and costs less.

You should wait for the 9000 series if possible.

 

Something like this would be better: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1wBeM

Thank You for your recommendations, I will take them into account. In your opinion if I have a Dell U2410 1920x1200 will I have enough 2 Gb of vram for games like new GTA and Crysis 3?

2GB is enough. I personally wouldn't pay more for a 1900x1200 display since they're ludicrously more expensive than a simple 1080p though.

A few games are starting to use more though.

I have already bought DELL U2410, because it was on quite good deal. So I will wait for AMD new 9*** series cards.
