Hi everybody:

I look on many benchmarks in different websites but this is my first PC so maybe, I have made a lot of mistakes choosing the components.

There are plenty of changes needed. But before we proceed, we need:

-To know your budget
-Will you overclock?
-Are you editing/rendering or only just gaming?

Thank you for your answer

- I am not very interested on overclocking at all
- Gaming

Are you planning to buy a 2nd gpu in the future? If not, that system doesnt makes sense.
That psu is too much, you are getting a locked cpu with an unlocked chipset and why are you getting a cooler?

Thank you again and don´t worry about pounds you are helping me a lot

But one question

Do you think that with your PC I am going to be able to play at ultra at least 3-4 years?
and with my original one?

And just for learing why do you prefer and i5 in stead of i7 ?

I haven´t said it before and maybe it is important, but I prefer to pay a bit more now and avoid buying new stuff at least on 4 years.

i7 has hyperthreading which is not really needed for gaming. An i5 is more than enough for gaming. I will be back with a build that hopefully doesn't require an upgrade for 3 years.


But don't get me wrong, you cannot future proof

If your want a PC to last long as possible, you will then need to learn how to overclock. It is simple and you can do it when your PC starts to show "signs" of slowing down.


This build requires a CPU cooler in the future when you overclock. And the SLI will probably last a good solid 3-4years. By the fourth year, you may need to play on medium.
