I have £800 max to spend on a gaming pc but really dont know what to buy. I would like an i5 and quiet as possible because its going in the living room. Its getting connected to my 46" Samsung so I don't know if that dictates the graphics card? I was looking at the pre built Cyclone GTX (not a fan of the case) but the guy at PCS put me off when talking about the graphics card(GTX750 ti).

I could really do with a bit of help and no im not keen on building it myself because I tend to be a very unlucky guy at times and dont really have the knowledge for it.

Games I play are COD, BF,footy games etc.

if its just a bit better than the ps4 and xbox one graphics I would be happy with that

Thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks keynes

Two questions

Can you recommend one of the 3 black cases for £45 if it makes a difference?

And is ssd worth the extra £50+?

Thanks again

I wouldn't downgrade the case. An SSD is not essential, you can add one later on.

I would consider adding the SSD if you can afford it, but not if it means downgrading any other parts. Do not get the v300 SSD though.

Hi Keynes,
Out of interest, why did you select the micro-ATX board? Is that just to make a saving? If so, how much does that save compared to a full size board that you might otherwise select and what expansion possibilities do you lose?

Just trying to learn a bit :)

it is cheaper to fit the gtx 770, less expansion slots than a full size board and no SLI option.
