Posted March 6, 2018 Hi guys, I've had the help of the community and have chosen that I will be building a pc ( even though I haven't persuaded my parents to let me yet). I just need to ask what difference the motherboard makes to a pc build? Is it better to get a more expensive one? Im thinking of using a AMD ryzen 5 1500x and a gtx1060 6gb as I'm on quite a tight budget but still want to be able to use it for vr ( when it improves). But I always got suck on what motherboard to get. Somebody please help me!!! Pc build price (want to stay under £700) And ryzen 5 1500x- £135.48 Superclocked Gtx 1060 6gb- 329.99 Corsair 450 watt power supply- £32.61 Hyper X fury 8gb ram - £64.63 WD blue 1tb- £37.50 Also what size case would I need for the build? So far total price= £600.21 (the cheaper the better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 6, 2018 a more expensive board may have better VRMs for overclocking and/or more features. I'm guessing you're getting a corsair VS so avoid it and get the CX, pure power 10 or masterwatt instead.

If it is then maybe yes I don't personally own a VR system and can't tell. The best way to know if it will run is to search videos on YouTube featuring GTX 980 Ti as the CPU is more than capable to run VR. But considering that minimum GPU for VR is GTX 970, I would say 980 Ti which is on par with GTX 1070 would easily run it. But only if you are close to South Wales as there is no postage option for it. Might be able to deliver it if petrol fees are paid upfront.

And if so how long would you be willing to hold onto it before collection or something. As I was just researching ready for the summer when I would buy a pc. But the offer your giving me is amazing and I would definitely be interested. Also need to ask about postage. I can pay postage or petrol fees or I will find a way to pick it up or something. Are you willing to hold onto the pc for a bit and then I will pay postage? Edited March 6, 2018 by Thecrazyhound10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry its probably a really stupid question. Yes. Will come with windows 10 pro OEM digital license. West Midlands is not that far as I thought. I just selected Birmingham as a main city and it's about 100 miles...so that's not too far. I might consider delivering it but it would cost you a little bit. I will accept collection and would feel more comfortable with that. Let's keep this chat in personal messages, if you have other questions. P.S.

The pre owned is a good value and i personally would go for that but that's with my knowledge of pc's, while it sounds like your quite new to this and the last thing you want is for something to happen that you cant fix yourself. Warranty's are golden for new builders. Also big up west mids and gl with your build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
