PC Building Suggestions

Jack O B

I'm building a PC and I have an idea of what motherboard I am looking for and some graphics cards and I was looking for suggestions.

This is the motherboard/GPU bundle that I was thinking of http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-179-OE&groupid=43&catid=2512

And these are the graphics cards http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-NVIDIA-GTX660-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B0099AOAUI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1387489755&sr=8-7&keywords=gtx+580 and http://www.komplett.ie/komplett/product/zkb-01com/80013734/asus-radeon-r7260x-dc2oc-2gd5-2gb-pci-e/details.aspx and http://www.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?adp=0&aid=123693&agid=2446&apop=4

What this PC is gonna be fore is running games like Dayz and Battlefield 4 on relatively high settings. If you have any suggestions on what I should buy it would be great as this will be my first build.

That mobo combo is pretty strong and the r9270x is a very good card for the money. Do you plan to overclock?

Fill this out to help the lads get what your aims are:

Don't get the 660 or the r9 260x

Get the suggested r9 270x seen on amazon sapphire oc version 144 pound.

Or If you can pick up a 7870 for 150 Euro or under try pixmania.

Both better value for money cards.

Just one suggestion. Cheap monitor.

You can go I5 for your build.will be a good CPU run games well with no need to overclock. And swap out for a better CPU in the future.

Or AMD. And overclock.

AMD will be cheaper. And probably your best option. using the bundle from overclockers. Grab a case there too. And you are sorted.

Get a normal R9 270. It's just a lower clocked 270x. Get one that has 2 x 6 pin power connections and a good cooler as they will overclock higher.
