First build

[milnor30]

It would be awesome if someone could put together a build for me primarily for gaming for about £800. I've built a few computers in my time, but none of them for myself so I decided to do exactly that.

 

Thanks.

Do you need a copy of Windows or any peripherals?

2Gb of vRAM in modern games will limit very quickly. And you can't overclock.

2Gb of vRAM in modern games will limit very quickly. And you can't overclock.

2GB is fine for 1080p.

The 4670 is quite powerful as is and doesn't need to be oc'ed.

 

The system can be better though.

2GB is fine for 1080p.

I have used more than 2Gb at 1080p So you might as well get the 3Gb card.

 

You said to me yesterday that 2Gb won't be enough for new games...

When? Where? For 1080p?

[BalloonZaptor]

I would go with this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/26wnw

Add a Disk drive if necessary

For the 290 you could get the prolimatech mk-26 or wait for aftermarket coolers

Good build. it would be nicer if the cpu was an FX-8320. But I wouldn't sacrifice any of the other parts to include one.

The cooler won't fit with that ram.
