Hey, this is my first time posting on here so dont be too brutal with me
So far SPS and I have put together a list of components for the PC using aria. As i am limited to around £650 i will be sacrificing some GPU power with the mind to upgrade after christmas. so far this is the list of components we have compiled
850W Corsair HX Series Modular £124.56
Zalman Z9 plus £47.99
ASUS P8P67 Intel P67 £107.99
Samsung SH-D163C/BEBE SATA £12.17
500GB WD Black SATA III £42.54
i5 2500k £155.99
8GB G.Skill RipJawsX (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 Dual Channel Kit £58.39
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 6770 OC £105.59
I also plan to overclock, but i will be buying a new cpu cooler before doing this.
The thing SPS and i found was that the bundle deals seem alot better value for money but i am wanting to check with you guys to see if it really is a better option.
This is the bundle deal
Gladiator Z68 Core i5 2500K 4.50GHz Overclocked
it comes with a much better cooler and an already overclocked processor. so would save me alot of time and possibly money. it only comes with 4GB of ram and ideally i need 8GB so i would by another 2 2GB Mushkin Blackline #996659B (2x2GB). which would cost another £31.19 so the price would end up slightly over what i started with by going for this deal.
I have also looked into the graphics card and i am unsure the 6770 is the best graphics card i can can get for around £100, possibility of an nvidia?
What do you guys think about this and is there any better deals you know of?
