Hi
Just wanted some opinions on a first gaming build and a couple of answers to some questions.
My budget is £750 but I need to include a monitor in this keyboard/mouse ive got but everything else I need.
Here's what i've got so far:
CPU
AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor £113.99
Motherboard
ASRock 880GM-LE FX Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard £49.99
Memory
Corsair Vengeance 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory £32.99
Storage
Kingston SSDNow V Series 30GB 2.5" Solid State Disk £39.95
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive £50.97
Video Card
XFX Radeon HD 7870 tahiti le Double D Edition 2GB Video Card £180.00
Case
Cooler Master RC-450-KKN1 ATX Mid Tower Case £48.36
Power Supply
Antec High Current Gamer 400W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply £47.25
And the rest is for the monitor. Which Im still unsure about, I'd like above 24" ideally 27" but dont want it if its gonna look crappy from about 1.5m away.
Questions.
Am I ok to cheap out on the mobo, I dont plan on doing any OCing?
Is the PSU going to be sufficient?
Is it worth getting 1440p resolution down the line i.e a catleap monitor?
Any suggestions for a better gaming build for the price?
First post here but i've been lurking for a while. Thanks in advance!
