Good morning all.
I'm looking to build a new Gaming rig (Within the next 6 months touch wood, should nothing actually blow up between now and then). If there's something epic due to be released in the next 6 months, please let me know, so that I can delay the rig building.
I've had 3 rigs over the past 15 years. All of which have seen me through 5 years with only a few parts replaced here and there. All built by the same friend of mine, who I don't have much contact with anymore sadly (so here I am). I have another friend who's pretty clued up, and will build my system for me, but I'd like to gather some input here before I start putting together a shopping list.
Requirements: Gaming (Run all current titles on Ultra spec pref, and 25 man Warcraft)
Budget: £1000
Not required: Peripherals. Hard Drives. Operating System.
Notes: PC wont be travelling to LANS or anything, so size/weight are unimportant.
To begin with, the 3 x Cases that I've been eyeing up are
Coolermaster HAF X
Fractal Design R4
NZXT (Not sure which model is currently best)
Can anybody make any solid part suggestions, case feedback or any of the other?
Thank you very much in advance. Hoping to become a regular visitor to these forums. I'm a software nut but when it comes to Hardware, I'm pretty useless.
Thanks
### Below are the specs of my Girlfriend's new PC selected and built by the friend (9 months ago) that will possibly be building my new system. From the shopping list, you can tell me if you have faith in his ability or wouldn't trust him with £1000 of my money ###
120GB Crucial M500 2.5" 6GB/s Inter 1 £76.12
2GB Gigabyte GTX 660 Windforce 2X, 1 £127.66
Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus, Black M 1 £53.91
600W Corsair Builder Series CX CP-9 1 £47.60
"Z77 Gamer" Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40GHz @ 4.50GHz DDR3 Ivybridge Overclocked Bundle 1 £316.66
After VAT and some other rubbish bla bla it came to £880.
It seems to run like a dream without any problems so do I presume he's clued up? Not to sound nasty, because I do have faith in him, but my PC hardware knowledge is laughable so he could tell me a system that runs on Rice Krispies is good and I'd have no choice but to believe him
