Hey guys. I haven't been around the forum for a while now, i quit hardcore gaming and hardware for Uni and bought a laptop for casual games. I recently broke up with my girlfriend, and I'm now finding myself with a lot more free time than i used too. I started playing a lot more games, but I'm finding it hard to run them at anything other than low. So i thought, why not treat myself to a brand new gaming PC?
So I've been out of the PC hardware loop for a while, so i need some advice. I have a budget of around £800, don't mind going a little higher but that doesn't mean i want to buy the absolute best just cause i can, i want a good deal and to save as much money as possible. So i done a little research, but with so many different kinds of i7's etc i got quite confused.
So basically to sum it up, i need to be pushed in the right direction with what to get. Is there any new hardware coming out soon that i should wait for? Or should i just build it ASAP? I was looking at a GTX 680, so i'd like some good parts to go with it. With so many i7's out there i have no idea which one to get, same goes for motherboard and memory. Also some suggestions on a case would be great.
GPU - GTX 760 Super Clocked
SSD - samsung 840pro
CPU - i5-4670K or Intel Core i7 4770K (undecided)
PSU - Corsair Gaming Series 2013 Edition, 800 Watt.
RAM - G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133MHZ
Motherboard - ASRock Z87 EXTREME4 Motherboard
Case - NZXT Phantom 410
Thanks for reading
