    Xeon 1231 v3 . 244

    Mobo Asus h97 plus. 90

    PSU be quiet 500. 55

    Ram crucial ballistic 8 gig 55

    SSD Samsung evo 120 70

    HDD Western digital 1tb 50

    Case nanoxia deep silence 3 65

    Gpu Gigabyte gtx 970 350


    Rounded them prices should be a bit cheaper. you can knock 80 off for a cheaper i5. Get a second ssd or an std of a cheap hooker.

    Can cut more off that build if you need.

    I'd up the size of the SSD and the HDD to 256gb and 2tb respectively. It won't cost much more and will save you upgrading in the future.

    Here here. Ssd are the ****ty sheet.

    Had a build for another guy similar spec you should at least be able to get the larger ssd and keep within the 1000 budget.

    Ordered this pretty much except I went for 16 gigs of RAM and a Bitfenix Shinobi case. Came to just under 1100. Cheers for your help!

    No worries enjoy your build and gaming.

    Only got round to shadow of mordor now. slaying 1000's of orcs I should be finding it repetitive but having too much fun.

    Maybe give Arma3 a try if you see it on sale. Steam had one around this time last year.
