Hey Guys,
Hope you are having a great day, and if not, I hope your day gets better. Thank you for reading this and all your advice is very much appreciated.
I'm currently building a new rig, I plan to have all parts picked over the next 12 hours. A lot of thought is going into this build as I'm a student and this is a one off build.
A bit of background, I'll keep it brief. I study Computer Art and Design. I game constantly, PlanetSide 2 being the most tasking of those, and I want a system that can handle GTA V and Watch Dogs maxed out at 1920x1080.
Obviously, the less I spend the better. I live in the UK so building this at a good price isn't going to be easy. Only decent priced websites I know are:
www.Overclockers.co.uk
www.Novatech.co.uk
www.Aria.co.uk
www.Amazon.co.uk
My absolute cap is £1500, that being roughly $2200. But like I said, that is my absolute cap and I would like to keep it around the £1000 - $1500.
So, I'm starting with CPU's and the best gaming one's I hear that are out are the 37XXK series by Intel. But I'm also quite interested in the AMD FX-8350. I've heard it is better than the i5 3750k and is also roughly £35 cheaper.
Thoughts?
Oh and I'm looking at either 2x 660's Overclocked or a 670 Overclocked.
