I have 500 GBP to spend on a new build.

I don't need an Operating System, Monitor, Mouse or Keyboard.

I thought this would be pretty decent but if you can improve it in any way or got any tips that would be great.

PS I would prefer it to have a GTX 960 due to the amount of display ports.

Add another 4GB of ram whenever you can.

Parts from SCAN

With 8GB of ram, but you'd be sacrificing a better mobo and case which aren't very easy to upgrade unlike RAM which is very easy to upgrade.

Also is it possible to use the case in the case in your first build for the second build.

Yes, 100%. Yes, you can use the case in the 1st rig, in the 2nd rig, but that would put you over budget.

Yes both cases are of the same form factor. However I'd advise paying a bit extra and going with the n200 me along with many others on the site have worked in them and they are great cases. But if you can't stretch the money then go with the Fractal.

Xigyy did a review, worth a look.

Thanks I will go for that then.

I need this PC to be able to run a Quad display setup.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

I have changed the GPU to the Gigabyte version which has 2 DVI ports. Will it work if I connect 2 DVI splitters to it and connect them to the 4 monitors?
