secondary pc

[MrWalex]

a month or two ago i posted a secondary pc part list so i could get some recommendations, after making some changes i have settled on this list.

i know the gtx 970 is not the best idea given the price right now, but i can get it for free from my other build as im getting a new gtx 1060 6gb for my main pc.

other than that is their any changes that i should make? im trying to keep it below £750 including the 1060 for my main pc.

thanks

What's the PC for, as a R5 1600 might be better for you, due to the 2 extra cores, that gives.

Fair enough, depends on what CPU you want then. Just looked at userbenchmark, if you overclock the R5 1600, with a generous overclock it's as fast as the i5, and hugely faster in multicore so your call. Guessing budget for the PC excluding GPU is £450???

 

 

benchmark results go down to overclocked section

i think i will stay with the i5 for now but i will keep it in mind, thanks

 

my budget is about 450-500 without the gpu

fair enough, right give me two seconds to see what I could do with that and then give you a list or two to show you what you could do
