Hello there
I'm currently searching for components for a new build. I have read the sticky however i don't feel some of the questions are relevant since i have already chosen my components, i am just here for a little further advice and direction please for the places where i may have gone wrong, e.g. compatibility issues/missing stuff.
Ok so a bit of background info...I'm 24 and havnt done a build before but i have replaced stuff in the past. I'm just wanting to build a new PC for gaming since i play a few games, and hopefully create a "bang-for-buck" rig that should last me some time because my current setup is becoming dated. I also would like my PC to be able to handle some 4k stuff with reasonable performance as i plan to buy a 4k monitor afterwards.
Here is the info:
Approximate Purchase Date: Progressive...Already bought the case and im guessing i can purchase the rest over the next few weeks
Budget Range: Since it is a progressive thing this isn't so relevant however a total build of around £2000 excluding peripherals is the general aim
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming -> Media -> Internet surfing -> Office etc.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes - A Samsung U28D590D after it is all complete
Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) **Include Power Supply Make & Model If Re-using**
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Location: Nottinghamshire, UK
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes - Eventually
Your Monitor Resolution: 3840 x 2160 (Samsung U28D590D)
Here is the parts list, ill put it in quotations just to separate it slightly from the main body:
Please could somebody answer these questions too if possible ...
Is there any extras i may have missed to complete the job? Cables, screws, tools etc?(I have ordered an anti-static wristband)
Do you think the GTX 980's pricetag justifies the performance? And would it give me much more time in the future gaming years?
