Building a gaming pc (Need Help)

[Anthony_Lee]

Hi everyone i am building a gaming pc and would like to have some advice on the gaming pc that on going to build for the first time for £720. Do you think these are good parts for a gaming pc for 1080p max out on games and 1440p.I did a lot of research and i ended with the specs

Im abit of a nvidia fan so i would not go for a amd gpu like the r9 290.

Yeah, great build man, you'll be fine with that build for 1440p, i'd advise you to get a R9 390 but if you like Nvidia more that build is your best bet

You shouldn't use single channel memory kits. Dual-channel kits are hardly any more expensive (sometimes cheaper) and although the performance difference generally isn't huge, it is certainly worth going for. Use a 2x4GB kit instead of a 1x8GB kit. Otherwise, it's a great build.
