Bronze Level Poster
I am a first time buyer of an extreme spec PC and am looking for advice about the build of which I have listed down below. Any comments or feedback regarding personal preferences would be appreciated. Please note that the 6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 980 Ti will be changed to a GTX 1080 upon the release and thus the build will not be finalized for around another month, so feedback will greatly help. Current build price : £3,874 Budget : £4,000.
