Need help to make my own Gaming Rig

[Nemesis1uk]

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and I'm looking to hopefully make a value for money Gaming rig. However, I am a bit of a noob in these matters as I've done most of my gaming on Consoles.

Anyways, I have a budget of £850 - do you think that this is enough for a decent rig? A rig that will be good enough to run the next big gaming titles coming this fall - such as Skyrm, Rage, Deus ex HR and Witcher 2 (already out)

Ideally I'd like it so that this rig could potentially run the above games on Ultra settings. I know its probably pushing it with the above budget but thats why I'm asking to make sure.

Any help and advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Ok, so here is some specs I came up with that is a bit over budget

Potential Rig:

Processor - Intel Sandybridge i7-2600K Unlocked Core i7 Quad-Core Processor (3.40GHz, 8MB Cache, Socket 1155) £237

Mother board - ASUS 1155 P8P67 PRO REV 3.0 S/L £125

Graphics card - MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II - Graphics adapter - Radeon HD 6870 - PCI Express 2.1 x16 - 1 GB GDDR5 - DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort ( HDCP ) £204


RAM - Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory - £49.50

Power Supply - Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2UK Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 High Performance 750W Power Supply £87

HD - Western Digital Caviar 2TB SATAII 64MB Cache 3.5-inch Green Internal Hard Drive OEM £57

SSD - Kingston SSD V100 64GB SATA2 2.5inch Hard Drive £70


Case- Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus - Mid tower - ATX - no power supply £60



I already have a viewsonic 22in tv monitor.

Do you guys think that this is a decent build to run all upcoming games on a very commendable level?

Please please do give your thoughts, opinions and positive criticisms . Do I have a suitable motherboard? processor relevant for my needs?

Do I need extra cooling or anything of the sort?


btw, I don't know much about overclocking however, after reading some posts and looking around the site, it is something that I would be interested in doing.

Big Thanks in advance!



P.S all the above is from Amazon.co.uk

Right, I have a few questions


1, is it possible to use a lower PSU for the above build, say 650W?

2, Is it worth investing in the I7-2600k processor as opposed to the I5-2600k? Would a I5-2600k be good enough for upcoming gaming on highest specs?

how about AMD processors?

3, I really need help on the motherboard, I'm thinking about changing it to
Gigabyte SKT-1366 GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard

4, any other input...
