soooo yeah, i'm currently looking at getting a gaming pc built for myself, it also for my university modelling and that
I'm doing it because my current medion pc has no upgrading options apart from quicker ram 'not more memory' and a graphic card with a better psu installed, sooo i'm just going to build a new system, as to do anything else with my current pc would mean a new motherboard D:
i ordered 2 parts already.... note that these was intended for my current pc 'defo the gfx card, as it could handle my psu' these are
8GB DDR3 RAM (1666 MHz)
Asus Nvidia GeForce GT 640 (I Will be upgrading this at some point)
the other parts I intend to get can be seen here: http://www.ebuyer.com/lists/list/128415
but here the list:
Asus P8Z77-V LX
Intel Core i5 3470 3.20GHz
Coolermaster GX 650W PSU
Toshiba 1TB 3.5 Hard Drive
DVD Drive
Casecom 6788 All Black Case
and a Anti Static mat to build on
i'm aiming for £550 - £600 total cost after buying windows (current total cost is £555)
sooo pretty much...... comments........ my main question is the motherboard.... as i'm wondering whenever to go for that one or a gigabyte
Edit: I intend to spend £250 per a term...... my ram and graphic card came to £107.84, I'm planning to get the disc drive and the psu next
