its a great computer but what kind of gaming are you going to do on it? that power supply seems a bit much, my rig has a 750w running fx-8350 black edition, 2x HD 7870's, 2 hdd's, h100i pump, optical drive, and 6 fans. 1050w seems a bit much especially when you only have a gtx 970. the max power consumption on a stress test of a 970 was 274w. It looks like you copied and pasted a bundle if so can you link me to the build because its a lot cheaper to build your own and its really easy!!

That's a very nice build. It's probably overpriced as hell, though.

Is this a pre-built? I'd invest in a much, much, much better heatsink for the CPU, if you're going to be spending this much.

I hope you put it to good use.

EDIT: Is it just me or are the parts on that link completely different?

I hope I do because it's my first gaming pc and I've been saving up for god knows how long to scrape the money together so I'm looking for as much advice possible. Thanks

James I don't think Google converter could help me because it says the build is only $278 usd. the gtx 970 alone is more but it is franks right? if not please correct me and i will do the correct math. also I dont know how much money you make, nor do I want to its your business. but you convert to usd and tell me how much it is.

Ew no. Don't Build your own PC, don't say "Oh, I don't know how" or "Oh, I can't" because, trust me, you can. It's not hard and if you don't build your ow, you're going to get ripped off. Like you said, you've been saving for a long time and if you get that pre-built PoS, you'll be wasting your money.

With £1500, it's much wiser to go with an Intel build. You have absolutely no need for a 1000W+ PSU unless you plan on quad SLI. 4.5TB of storage, but no SSD?. Those are not a "gaming" keyboard and mouse, by any means. Oh, and you can get the software for free so don't waste your money buying it.

For around the same price as that PoS you listed, you could get this instead, from [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Far superior peripherals. Much better CPU. Much, much better GPU, PSU and case. Sufficient storage capacity, as well as an SSD. Also, a good CPU cooler istead of stock crap, for overclocking.
