Hi All,

I was just looking for some feedback on the following build, it will be used mainly for Gaming (WOW, LOL, COD GTA etc..)

I was going to order through Amazon for speed of delivery. Can you spot any incompatibility issues or improvments that could be made to the below. I am hoping to order over the weekend.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Hi
all looks ok, but you are missing keyboard , mouse and optical drive...guessing that those will be moved from old rig ;-).. and CPU is too powerful for GTX 760 (but on other hand you can upgrade it later on).

Vaxx

I won't be overcloclocking so do you think an i3 would be sufficient. Should I also maybe get a better graphics cards.

Thanks for you help

Vandall

I would suggest better graphics card. If you can afford gtx 970... that would make perfect couple with cpu.
If you do not want to overclock, change to i5-4690, no need for K version.

Vaxx

Thanks again Vandall, the that graphics card maybe slightly outside my budget, is there a card around €250 that you could recommend.

Vandall

Look for R9280X, more memory, and a bit faster.

You can save a bit by getting a 500w PSU (actually, a 430w would be fine even), the GTX970 system will only use about 300w.

Other than that, seems fine!

Thanks Terror

What is the standard waiting time for parts on Hardwareversand?

Order placed on the 20/12/14 with Graphics Card due in on the 22/12/14, checked the website on the 23/12/14 delivery date unknown.
Rang them after Christmas and asked for another card they told me to that it would be back in yesterday the 7th Jan. Checked this morning and again delivery date unknown.

Has anyone else had difficulty in getting parts?
