  • Cooler master elite 310

  • PSU corsair tx650

  • Artic cooling Freezer 7

This comes to a total of around £387, so if you have any recommendations for parts bare in mind I can't really go higher than £400 :p

Also, what would be a decent affordable card to crossfire ? :p

OVER 9000!
Only thing I'd recommend is faster RAM (that's only 1333 MHz) and / or 8GB RAM (Especially since RAM is cheap but has a huge impact on system performance in regards to what speed it is and how much you have). Eventually 4GB RAM will become a bottleneck with a rig like that.

if your willing to spend a little bit more money i would suggest getting a case with better airflow so you get good performance for longer,get 8gb RAM (im assuming your going to be gaming),and get a good graphics card.also seeing that you are from england try buying off an american website because pound is alot stronger than USD,I think You must login or register to view this content. ship to europe.hope i helped Smile

What case would you recommend then, I will only be needing a casual one since I'll just be doing light gaming.



Also what's the best card to crossfire at a reasonable price Happy
