I posted once before on this forum but it ended with me not buying a new pc... today however the money is in the bank and I am about an hour or so away from buying a new PC . I have picked out the stock Fusion Bulldozer Z97 Gaming PC" at £899 , then added a few upgrades..
Sharkoon Bulldozer Case in Red (Not the prettiest but I can deal with that for now)
Intel Core i5 4690K Haswell Refresh Processor 3.50 GHz (Overclocked to up to 4.3GHz)
Corsair Hydro H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste
Asus Z97-A Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
16GB Corsair/Crucial/Samsung PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory (2 x 8GB sticks)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Graphics Card
Seagate 1000GB SSHD Hybrid Drive
Corsair CX 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified PSU
Onboard High Definition Audio
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Standard Cable Management
5 Year Warranty with 2 Years Collect and Return (UK only)
Totalling £1092 in VAT then £24.99 delivery
I was hoping I could get some feedback regarding the parts and if anyone thinks maybe I should upgrade one part and downgrade another. One of the main things i was rethinking was the choice of motherboards on offer..
Gigabyte Z97X-SLI Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
Price from: [-£49.00]
Asus Z97-K Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
Price from: [-£29.00]
Asus Z97-A Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
Asus Z97-PRO Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
Price from: [+£50.00]
As you can see i selected the ASUS Z97-A on the advice of a friend. I'm still not so clued up about most of this. However I wasn't sure if maybe it was overdoing it and the stock MB provided, the gigabyte would do almost the same job.
Again any advice on anything would be great. I intend to purchase and Ive never been so excited haha
Thanks in advance
