1st Time Gaming Build Help?
-
15-06-2011 12:41PM#1Hey guys I'm looking to build a decent Gaming PC this Summer, but I'm not too sure about what I need. I was thinking maybe:
Core i5
6-8gb ram
1TB Hdd
But I'm not sure about the rest
(Especially the Graphics Card)
Have all the peripherals but upgrade suggestions would be appreciated!
Hoping to make a few bob this Summer so maybe a budget of €800-€850?
If this won't do I might stretch
Thanks in advance!

If you want to spend a bit extra, then yes the Fractal R3 is worth the money
Thinking the R3 is the best option now.
Also, had a good look through your list (which I am very grateful for) and was wondering about the fan. Is the stock cooler in the i5 not sufficient? I'm not thinking of overclocking by the way. Thanks
Asides from this, I think I'll be getting most of whats on this list!0 -

You should try it out, I am, or perhaps get the msi mobo with the overclock button.
at a quick glance to decs build, no im not going to count, it seems a lot less than 780?
Edit: sorry, saw it;s just a forgotten 1 on the gfx 0 -
