Good Enough PC?

Bulldozer

Closed the webpage, threw my computer out the window, lit my house on fire, hid under my bed, and called the cops.

Just be careful on the Seagate Barracuda. I had a 1TB SGB (though I'm not sure if my product was the exact same as yours) and it started fucking with my shit from as early as day 3. After a month, the head broke and couldn't read the hard disk anymore.

Among other things. That's my only piece of advice, meant as a heads up from someone else that had your same idea not too long ago. Not meant to bash or insult, but to make you more aware, friend.

I think you should be fine with that, should handle most games on high at least.

Yeah that thing will max out any game out right now. Seriously dude that PC is fuckin boss.

Don't you want a disc drive?

With that budget, you'd get better performance and spend less on a 2500k build. Get a 2500k and some cheap(in price) mobo like the Asrock Extreme3 Gen3, can CF/SLI and has all the main features you'd want/need. Would be cheaper and perform better than that build.

Also what're you planning to do with this, gaming? What resolution do you play at? 7770 costs the same as a gtx 460 and peforms worse. Not really that great for price/performance at the moment.

Also, that PSU is a no no. Read reviews, it's awful and can't output anywhere near the rated wattage. Look for good brands like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, OCZ. etc etc.

With a single card(460) you'd have more than enough room to spare with a quality 500w PSU. If you're going to SLI in the future, a (quality)650w will do fine.

Also, get two sticks of 4gb ram and benefit from dual channel, rather than 1 stick of 8. It'll be cheaper as well(not by much, but still)

i highly suggest staying far away from AMD right now.... Pentium is blowing them out of the water... get an i5, or even an i3 and you will still be in better shape.

Seriously you're buying case at same price as GPU?

You better select cheaper case, and better GPU.

Where are you buying it all from? The only suggestions would be minor upgrades (mostly), so it's not worth changing the entire scheme (I think). You should be fine with that. :)

getting it from overclockers .co.uk

One suggestion would to knock the case down; spend the extra money on a better graphics card (gtx 560Ti does amazingly well on my mates' computers) and perhaps some case cooling; fans and perhaps a CPU cooler.

Man, VAT is like a punch in the nuts.
I concur with recommendations to save on the case, as well as maybe the motherboard, and try to spend more on graphics.

Eh, that video card. You could get a 6870 at about the same price and it performs better if I remember correctly.

Thanks for Skyriim hur dur

I'm not going to get into an argument about Bulldozer vs Sandy Bridge (Even though an i5-2500k IS better in just about every single thing), but I would highly recommend a slightly better graphic card. 7870 or 7850 should be released very soon and are well worth the cost upgrade. The 7770 isn't priced low enough compared to the 6000 series alternatives.

I also suggest you get 2x4GB RAM instead of a single 8GB stick.
And a HAF 912 case costs half as much and gives you plenty of room, plus you can remove one of the HDD cages for more space or airflow if you choose.

i wouldnt get the either core or the 7770 i would get a hex or quad with a 6870-6950
