Gaming build

Joe Exotic

Hey,
I would like some help with a build
i actually tried one (got some help from here) 4 years ago but the car broke so money had to go into that but i'm ready to go again.

I still have a cooler master Haf 932 case thats been sitting there for four years so i dont need one.

Other than the build has any one any advice on a decent office chair could go as far as 200 for it.

I see that Hardwaresand is gone into insolvency so i suppose another site is required, any suggestions on this ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Normally I'd say to goto Ikea, and sit on all their chairs (The one I'm sitting on is from there), and find the one you like most, but you look like a Cork man, so probably just going into a large store that has different office chairs, and try them out.

BenQ 2450 €130
GTX 970 €350
i5 4460 €185
H97 Board €90
1tb HDD €55
8gb RAM €55
250gb SSD €90
500w PSU €60
Windows key is €20 from Reddit.
Total €1050 roughly.

Prices are (uselessly) from HWVS but should be fairly close from MindFactory.de or an EU amazon. Is that detail enough, or do you me to post manufacturers?

This'll play pretty much anything at 1080p Maxed out, so if the above is as much as you'll play you can knock several hundred off if you want.

Any questions, ask away.

looking at prices at the moment

Three quick questions


1. Im gonna try a bit of overclocking will the H97 board do or should i be going for the z97 series

2. Also for the same reason should i be getting a new fan if so any suggestions

3. Do al PSU's come with the same connectors or do i need to check each individually to make sure its correct

Digital Solitude

You'll need a Z97 board and a k series chip for over clocking e.g. 4690k

No need on your budget but your call

PSUs are fairly standard

how would a build like this hold up now? with battlefield 1....... and other games

Relatively well, you'd be better off starting a new thread and getting newer parts, this is 2 years old.
