(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well, with christmas gone by Im looking for a new gaming computer UK please

Im not looking for anything over the price of about 700-800 so Im not looking for somthign amazing, just somthing which could get me a decent ammount of frames to play on any game really.

The only thing I would really want is a about a 2TB harddrive, but I can leave it up to you smart guys for where to buy and all the specs.

I do own a monitor and also speakers so I don't need that but if a gaming mouse wasnt anything over a lot extra I would love that I also have a mouse so that isnt really a need.

LED's would be nice but if its too much extra forget about the LED's and a nice gaming case would be good, if you could see thru that would be amazing but if a matt one is better specs then that would be better

Thanks NGU! Rep will be added to anyone who makes a consibution

LED's are only like 10 or 20 bucks. When you mean 700-800 you mean £ correct? Give me a few minutes until I finish my Astronomy homework and I will gladly make you a build to fit your budget.

And are you looking at AMD or Intel builds?

Pretty sure this is under 800. If you want it to be cheaper just drop the liquid cooling and use the stock fan or buy a regular 560 instead of the ti.

Got some LEDs in there too =D

Hope I helped :y:

Edit: I forgot Windows 7, but it will go over 800, so just drop the liquid cooling, or find a cheaper motherboard. But if you already have Windows 7 then this is a great build for gaming :y:

Ditch the liquid cooling and get a GTX 570.

Well it's an i5 2500k so he might overclock that's why I added it.

Dunno whats happened but yea is everything compatible alright? I know someone who can build it but need to make sure everything is compatible, thanks Smile and in that case is the blue LED fan included?

Edit: Could I also play like battlefield with a good fps on? Atleast 500+ or is that too much for that processor?

I have the i5 2500k and a Hyper 212 Plus (£25) stable overclocked to 4.5ghz with a HAF 912 case. Water cooling is completely useless sorry.

Edit: Also don't take any of that guys advice, he has no idea what he's doing. He listed 1333mhz ram (slower than the newer 1600mhz), useless watercooling, a 750w PSU for a single card? You can run that setup on a 450w PSU easily, also that CD drive is a pile of shit.

Oh great, let's justify this.

1) The 750W PSU is a good deal for something that he WILL want to upgrade down the line. No one buys a ****ing PC to throw it out when they want an upgrade, go buy a Mac if you want that.

2) Water cooling is NOT pointless. Regardless what you want to say, the higher the temperatures are on your CPU the lower the life of your CPU will be. CPU technology is years ahead of GPU technology, meaning that you would want to upgrade your GPU before your CPU, not vise versa because you were a retard and decided "it's a waste of money"

3) The RAM I have listed is FINE. You will notice a small increase in performance. RAM is cheap, so I guess you are right on this one, but for a gaming build, the difference will not be noticeable, it's all about the GPU/CPU really.

I won't even comment on the CD drive because it's great. It hasn't let me down a single time and has had no reading or writing errors at all.
