It's fine, depends on what res you're playing at. Motherboard is a bit boring.

What monitor do you have?

I'll also be the first to say "you could build one a fair bit cheaper"

Time? Takes like ½h assembling everything + 1h installing OS\programs

You can easily save 200$

Yeah, you'll be fine at 1080 if you don't want to max everything.

You'll be more than fine at 1080p maxing out most games, maybe not at 60fps for all of them but still. I've got a 1GB GTX 460 and it still manages to play newer games at high settings, I also play at 1080p.

Onboard audio or discreet? Looks pretty balanced to me, perhaps overkill on the PSU power.

It's around £1,158 for the whole build.

DayZ is buggy with performance people with the best gaming PCs can't even play it without FPS issues

It's a good build, I'd get 16 gigabytes of ram though just because.

You could probably choose a cheaper power supply to make the money difference about equal since you don't need more than 600 watts.

Thanks for ruining the mood, just when I was getting my hopes up lol. Nah seriously I don't expect to run this game anywhere near high, more like the lowest settings and still expect to struggle. Although on Youtube I saw someone using a GTX 460 & Phenom II X6 1055T running the game at 1080p with a balance of medium to low settings and it was playable.

I'm not fussy though, I'm a console gamer also, so my standards are very low as it is lol. I reckon I could manage with 25fps and still enjoy the game.

Day Z is not hard to run it's just had literally 0 optimization and is on one of the worst engines ever.

On my 4670K and GTX 780 Ti... I get 30-50FPS on anything higher than low-medium settings.

How about some CPU cooling?

Great build, though if it was me, I'd feel more at ease with a 4GB version of that card, just incase newer games start demanding more VRAM due to higher res textures

@JigglyWiggly_: going over 8gb RAM just for gaming is a waste even with the newer games coming out 8gb is more than enough

Really nice psu you picked out there i think, i got a similar corsair one and it is very power efficient. Since you seem to have knowledge to spend money for quality parts, you may as well get an i7 instead of an i5 since future games are starting to recommend i7's... if you can spare an extra hundred and a bit. Get a 4770k is basically what im saying, its only hundred or so more.

Did you add that 120gig SSD to that shopping list i didn't see it listed?

Not really, I'm idling at 8.3 gigabytes right now.

It's nice if you are pretty untidy with how many windows you have minimized.

For single GPU solutions 2GB will work for awhile... It depends on how long he expects to have it.

As I said above in case you didn't notice, I haven't heard of this company and you can buy the same spec elsewhere for over £100 less.

Go to PC Specialist and you could either save yourself £120 on the same build or pay £1200 and get a 780.

If you don't want to build yourself I'd at least buy it with no GPU though and buy an after market one to fit yourself. Save some money and get better performance for barely any effort, silly not to.
