Hello,
As the title says, I'd like some advice please on the following spec for a Gaming PC.
With the addition of about £70 of accessories the current spec is coming out at 1890 inc VAT which is somewhat more than I was aiming at but inevitably there's always that extra step for just a few pounds more.
Priorities
Gaming PC
Run as quietly as possible (This is an important point)
Ideally shave a few pounds off the price (Initial target was £1500-1600)
Notes
I've over-rated the power supply from 650W to 1000W because I may at some future point add a second Graphics Card but my budget will not currently stretch that far.
I've never had a dedicated fan controller before and am uncertain as to how beneficial one will be.
I have no intention of over-clocking.
I can knock £109 off the price by dropping to 16GB RAM
The only reason I had for picking Windows Professional was the site informed me Home version could not access anything above 16GB (Thanks for the info)
Specification
Any thoughts , suggestions , etc , would be appreciated.
