Hey guys

Need help building a gaming pc & curious what setting I could run new games on (medium/high/ultra/etc)


Need
-CPU
-Graphics Card
-Power supply
-Motherboard
-Ram

Do not need
-OS
-keyboard/mouse
-Monitor
(running on a 55" 3D enabled TV - not sure if that will affect specs or performance??)


If it is not viable can you show me a build & price point.

Thank you

If you only want the bits listed, this will be better than both.

It is to most people new to the hardware, trust me when i stated out. I was clueless.

Just browse different PC forums like OCN and TomsHardware. You will soon pick up what's good and what's bad.

Building your own pc is like a drug... I started with a build for 550 now I'm looking at 1000

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I think its a pretty awesome future proofed set up...well for at least a good few years.

already been buying it bit by bit...
* Bought *
mobo & ram

* Still to buy *

this week - cpu, psu & case

* 2 weeks later - cooler & gfx :-)

Cannot wait :-)

I'm going to be doing editing as well.

the ram was in a flash sale on dabs for 158 uk was 244

so might aswell pay the extra 30 quid & get 32 instead of 16gb
