Also, this is for an i5 processor!

Hey guys, just starting my build, ordered my case yesterday (Phantom 410) and thought id go for the mothetboard next. Trouble is, my knowledge regarding them is limit at the minute. Could amyone recommend a sub £150 board, compatible with a 7970, huge bonus if it has wifi built in too. Also...

I cant find any info on this anywhere, im.having real trouble finding a case i like that gas a depth of under 470mm, the Antec 902 wasnt my first choice but ive realised that to get my desired asthetics in a case, im probably going to have to build it myself. Since i was going for the red on...

Ive looked high and low for white cases but there doesnt seem to be many about, I have limited space of about 500mm by 500mm (width is not a problem) since im going to be keeping my PC in a cupboard. The Aerocool X PredatorX and the Thermaltake Commander have caught my eye, but the reviews of...

Hi, first of all, my apologies if this is in the wrong section (i think it is) but I cant find a relevant place to put it. I have a computer desk, it has a dedicated cupboard for PC towers with an open front and quite s large rectangular whole on the back right, for airflow im assuming. Since I...

Hi, ive been.looking at graphics cards and ive singled.out the.7970 as the one i would like to get, as it seems to be.one.of the best out there for my.budget. The thing that is confusing me is the brands and trying to figure out which one is best. Ive seen them by XFX, Sapphire, Gigabyte, Asus...

Here is my setup atm, if anyone has any suggests or changes they think.i should.make, then im.open to suggestions.:) PU Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard Memory Corsair...

Also, would I be advantageous to go for the 2x8 Corsair RAM instead of the 4x4 for when I eventually upgrade to 32GB of RAM? Or is this so far off my components would become obsolete by this time anyway? :)

Thanks. Yes its for gaming. Ive just read further into this i7 business and there are many commemts suggesting an i5 and use the money saved to get a better GPU. So I think I may just go with this :) Would it really need an 850 watt psu though? I dont knoe how much difference there is but with...

Hi, im building my first PC, I thought id dive in at the deep end and spend a fair amount on it. Futureproofing, I figured.i wouldnt have to update it very much in the next few years. I have a few components selected but im having trouble with some others, cases and motherboards mainly so if...

Thanks for the replies guys! Ive just checked on pcpartpicker and my total was £1000 (around $1500) which is feasible, that includes a £50 ($80) case, so i'll probably limit my case at around $100 if you have any suggestions. Also, if its white it would be a huge bonus.:)

Hi guys, new here. Im thinking of building my own PC. I have a list of components and have ventured into researching which ones to buy, the problem is I dont know what to buy first. :/ Could anyone give me some tips on what to buy first, since I dont have enough money to buy everything at...

Hi, new here. Ive been a dedicated console gamer for years now and was looking forward to the next Xbox very much, then I heard about how itll still be outdated by PC gaming even before its release, so I did some research into PC hardware and decided that it was the place to go. Ive learned a...
