How can I narrow the cost of my PC?

[Aiden Thursby]

I need help on a budget PC I want it to be lower than £700 this is my build at the moment, Anyways I could make it cheaper but same or more or maybe just a little less efficiency? I am planning to record gameplay and that's why I want nVidia with their Shadowplay feature and the processor cannot be changed as it's already bought and I'm also planning to overclock and want to be able to run games in ultra 1080p around 30 FPS.

Get rid of the purple case fan and you're under £700.

Hi, I would say your cost would go up a little bit, as the CX500W PSU of Corsair is not HASWELL CPU compatible. And you are going to be OC , so you need a better and HASWELL compatible PSU :

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Power Supply: XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£70.61 @ CCL Computers)
Total: £70.61
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Could you get a cheaper one £65?

Sorry mate, I cant find one. And its only GBP 5 more. You could go with XFX 550W, which is around GBP 47, but doing OC will be tight on that wattage, and not compatible with HASWELL CPU aswell.

GeForce GTX 760 - requires 30 Ampere on +12V rail and a 550W PSU minimum.

Measured power consumption single card

1.System in IDLE = 121 W
2.System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 280W
3.Difference (GPU load) = 159W
4.Add average IDLE wattage ~10W
5.Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 169 Watts

Do you have a copy of Windows already? Otherwise you will break the cost because Windows is another $179 on top of that.
