If you really dont want to so the building, many stores will do it for you for about 50 bucks or so.
And i agree 8gb ram is enough, though take at least 1600mhz ddr3 id reccomend

CyberPower PC's are really the way to go if you dont know exactly how to build a PC, although it isn't hard to make one.

You should be jealous.....

What do you think of this site: http://www.logicalincrements.com/?aid=cr

Is it helpful or does it lack in stuff?

personally for overclocking I would take a watercooler, but again I don't know how you feel about them. the corsair H100i would do e really good job keeping your cpu cool. and it isn't even that expensive. here in Holland it costs like €100 or so. So not a too expensive solution and pretty quiet too!

It's the one I have selected for a new pc I am going to build. ima use it on a intel i7 4770K. hoping to overclock it to like 4.4-4.8 GHz. Friend told me that the processor would be easely able to handel that. so im giving it a shot. (wanted an i7 anyways )

So getting 16Gb of RAM is a bad idea?

~method

I decided to Add up the price of the parts and these are the results:

Intel Core I7 4770K 3.9Ghz +
Asus Z87-K Haswell Motherboard +
Cooler Pc Bundle

= £378

Nvidia Gtx 770 Graphics Card

= £350

Corsair CX750 750W

= £67

Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB DDR3 RAM Memory 1600Mhz

= £94

SSD 128Gb

= £70


Overall Pice = £970

When it comes to buying RAM how do I know which RAM will fit into my motherboard and will be good?

~method

Also is this Bundle a good one or not worth it?

No Video rendering is GPU and CPU but not a problem for me and i have tri SLI

The heart of a PC is its PSU never go cheap on this or it could be kaboom and good buy to everything in your box :/

this is almost the same as what i use


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corsair-CX750 ... %26ps%3D54

So get a SSD like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SanDisk-128GB ... 4855f82ed6

And then install the Operating System on it and all the Softwares like Sony Vegas & Steam etc?

Hmm, seen Alienware Computers but got to say that In my opinion it would be cheaper to buy the Alienware parts separately and build a PC from that, but if you say you can run any game in Ultra it sounds really good
~method

Yeah, it would be MUCH cheaper to get those parts and build it yourself, but the combination of parts I find is more than enough for any serious gamer I've just been streaming Minecraft in a HD texture pack with shaders and it didn't noticeably strained my computer

Okay, I found all the parts that you suggested for me to get on Ebay and I'm going to link them here just to check that everything is fine:

Processor / Motherboard & Cooler: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Core-I7 ... 20d3ab974f

Gtx 770 Graphics Card: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zotac-GTX-770 ... 232c52712b

or a Gtx 670: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Palit-Geforce ... 1c3347d0f6

PSU: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corsair-Enthu ... 20d2d8273c

8gb Ram: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8GB-Memory-Ki ... 27d369696c

Case & Hard Drives should be easy to get anyway's so not going to list them for now, unless you suggest any good ones

These are a quick search and the cheapest (if could find) on Ebay UK if you seen cheaper then let me know and also is that the right combination of parts?
~method

All I have to say:

i8 processor and GTX 770 if you're rich.

(tip) No more then 8gigs of ram. Only egg heads do that.

._. Im just getting the 700$ X51 AlienWare Computer.

May i say that on amazon 660's are really cheap at the moment, so if i was you i would get one

So basically what I should get is:

i7 (what k?)
8gb - 16gb
Gtx 670 / Gtx 770
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
and a higher Voltage PSU so it doesnt overheat so like 700v - 750v
64bit Windows 7 Ultimate / Enterprise
1tb on each Hard-drive
CPU Cooler
and a Case

Is that right?

Strum355Just a few notes: 4th gen intel processors are already out, and there is no such thing as a gtx680 ti.

If they meant the 660 ti SLI, dooonn'tt. Not worth your money or you melted computer

OP:


I find this is pretty decent. I can currently run any game in Ultra, still record and not get any noticeable frame drop. Not sure if it's within your budget, I got that for $1800 AUS from Alienware (yes I know, some of you hate AW, but I don't care) and I'm sure you could find the same for cheaper if you shop around a little bit

I know Haswell is out. From what I've seen their is little improvement and it's not worth the added cost of the new CPU and the new motherboards. I definitely agree that two 770s is more than needed. I just wanted to see what I could fit in for 1600$.

Here is more than you will probably ever need or gaming. You could drop one of the 770s and replace the power supply with a CX500M/CX500.

Choose a case that you like but make sure it's compatible with your parts.

Anyways, you can choose either an i7 or an i5 (i5 4670k is the highest 4th gen i5 you can get, so that should be fine), and then for graphics cards i would choose a gtx670 if youre doing high end gaming, as you said. Ram wise, dont get more than 8gb of ram, seriously. 8gb of ram at 1600mhz will be perfect. When it comes to the power supply, dont go all too cheap. Choose a good, well-known brand. For the gtx670 id get a 600 watt one, some may argue slightly larger but it all depends for the motherboard, dont go too cheap either. The more you pay, the more features you get. Here you can choose any well-known brand too. With the case, i personally wouldnt go get one over 150, as that gets ridiculous. I would also get a better cpu fan too. Dont forget to get thermal grease (or whatever you want to call it), this can help with the transfer of heat from the cpu to the cooler. And for the love of god, dont get 32 gb of ram. 16 is pushing it. I have 8 and can edit videos perfectly fine

And i think thats it. If you need anymore help just reply

How much money are you wanting to spend?

I currently am running a prebuilt pc which is just as good as some gaming pcs. Although if you wish for those sorts of features you would be looking for some higher end stuff.

I have a Nvidia gtx 560ti in my computer and it can run Battlefield 3 perfectly well, but it may not handle Battlefield 4 the best. I suggest an Nvidia gtx 660ti or 680ti. I myself would look at purchasing the Asus ones, they are a bit more pricey but they are very high quality.

You'd want to be looking at an Intel Core i7 processor. I can render a 20 minute video in 1080p through my Intel Core i7 2600k in about 15-30minutes. I suggest getting an i5 as they are cheaper and wait for the 4th gen Intel processors to come out. As for i5 it isn't as powerful, but for games it will do, but for video rendering and such, it will definitely help having an i7. I would look at getting i5 2500k or going for i7 4470k. They are great for their price and are worthwhile. I am not sure when the next processor chip set by Intel will be coming out though.

Make sure you have a motherboard that fits your processor. If there is a store which you can go to and buy it, discuss it with them and make sure your list works. For video editing and such I would personally recommend getting 16gb or 32gb, but note that 32gb will require windows 7 enterprise or the windows 8 equivelant.

Hope this helps
