Hi guys. I am currently looking to purchase a custom built PC for gaming reasons mostly as I want to distance myself from console gaming due to this being quite limited.
However I want something that will last. I'm happy to keep upgrading it and i've just come into a little bit of money so i'm happy to splash out.
I am using Cyber Power to build it and have based my set up on running Skyrim (which I hear is quite demanding) as best it can get.
I have selected the following set up:
Case : Xion Predator 970 Gaming series w/ 2 External HDD Bays
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2 GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card
Motherboard: MSI X79A-GD45(4D) Intel v79 Chipset
Memory: 16GB Corsair
CPU: Intel Core i7-3960X (Overclockable) Quad Core 3.60 GHz 10MB Intel Smart Cache
Hard Drive: 1Tb SATA-III 6.0 Gb/s Cache 7200RPM
Optical Drive: 24C Double Layer Dual Format DVD+R/+RW + CD-R
Sound: HD on-board 7.1 Audio
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet Shadow Rock Pro CPU Fan w/ 4 direct heat pipes
Hard Drive Cooler: Vigor iSURF II Hard Disk Drive Cooling System
Monitor: 24" TFT Active Matrix CD/LED Display (1920X1080 2ms)
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Edition
Network: Onboard 10/100/1000 Gigabit LAN port (Standard)
Price: £1200
I want to reduce the price as much as I can. Can anyone please advise me of anything that I can downgrade or class as a 'nice to have' rather than a requirement?
