Will this work? Is it decent?

[jamesriley94]

You know you've just changed the monitor to a worse one don't you?

 

[MrShinyPig]

Why the 3770k..?
Is this a gaming PC, or will you be editing on it too..?

gaming pc... quad core, this is what somebody said on my other thread, the only editing i will be doing is photoshop cs6, and even my laptop can handle that

The 3770k is hyperthreaded, so technically 8 cores...
You'd get exactly the same performance from a 3570k.

As I said a while ago - you're wasting so much money on this PC.

 

[iBeInspire]

Drop to a 3570k, you won't loose any real world performance and you'll save about ~£100

 

[MrShinyPig]

i dont care if im wasting it , expensive = better, and what monitor should i get then? 25" or more, and no more than £270

 

[iBeInspire]

i dont care if im wasting it , expensive = better

Not the way you should be thinking with a gaming rig...

If you can get the same thing for £100 less, why wouldn't you?
You'd need the 8 cores if you were doing lots of video editing, but today's games won't use all of em'.

 

[MrShinyPig]

ahh fine, i will drop to a i7? 3570,

 

[jamesriley94]

No.
Expensive does not equal better.

And in saying 'no more than £270' for the monitor - you demonstrate that perfectly.
You really won't see any difference whatsoever between a 3570k and 3770k. Nor will you see any difference between the Maximus V and the MSI Z77 mPower.
That's around £200 you'd be saving there, which you could then put into the monitor budget and get something better so you will actually see a difference.

You'd be better off going with something like:

or

1080p at anything over 24 inch tends to blur a little, so picture quality isn't as good.

 

[MrShinyPig]

i dropped it to a i5 3750k, oh, and one more thing, will all my parts be able to get overclocked? or not?

 

[MrShinyPig]

what MSI Z77 mPower do i get, theres alot on amazon

 

[iBeInspire]

Yeah, the point of the ''k'' at the end of 3570k is overclocking
We'll guide you through it ~~

http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Z77-MPO...ROK0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358538056&sr=8-1

Although I'd get it elsewhere as that isn't directly from Amazon.

 

[Vlada011]

I'm aslo for better PSU (AX650/750 Gold) and RAM from
CORSAIR or GSkill or Mushkin. ASUS work perfect with all of them.
Golden Trio for RAM.

 

[Spiderz]

Why the Asus maximus V extreme motherboard? Is it just for the thunderbolt port on it? If you don't need it, even the v Formula would be better for you but you can easily chop £100 off that bill there and go with something like the Msi Z77 mPower, Asus P8Z77-Pro etc. Many £150 boards will do almost anything you want of them unless you need the e-atx ones.

If it is looks that matter on this though, that limits things a bit.

EDIT:

No.
Expensive does not equal better.
Nor will you see any difference between the Maximus V and the MSI Z77 mPower.

Beat me to it

 

[MrShinyPig]

Corsair CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengenace 16GB 1600MHz CL10 DDR3 Memory Two Module Kit
decent? and got the ax650 for extra £30

 

[MrShinyPig]

edited it, please tell me what you think,

 

[jamesriley94]

No, you're better off getting a bit faster RAM.
1866mhz minimum really.
And you don't need more than 8gb.

http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...3+SDRAM+CAS+10-11-10-28+1.5V+?productId=45905

That would be better

 

[yassarikhan786]

RAM from the more established companies is pretty much the same. The only real difference is the heat sink. Just go with RAM you like the look of.

 

[MrShinyPig]

anything else i should change? + im already £2 over budget lmao :l

 

[jamesriley94]

Well your graphics card is £50 cheaper elsewhere...
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-097-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=938

And your case isn't exactly the best...

Are you using Amazon for everything? Half your parts are way more expensive than they should be?
The AX650 is around £30 more expensive than they usually are...
Although, I'd consider getting this as it's newer tech anyway:
http://www.ebuyer.com/410042-corsai...h-performance-760w-power-supply-cp-9020045-uk

Also, you're still sticking with 16gb of RAM which won't perform as well as 8gb of higher speed RAM.
Why not get 8GB now, and buy another 8gb kit if you feel you need to after?

I can pretty much guarantee that you won't ever go over 8gb anyway.
