First let me say this, you cant put a gtx 760 and a 4820k in that chassis. Then I will say the rest looks just about ok but I would advise some changes.


Case
CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 300R COMPACT GAMING CASE better cooling for a fairly high end rig.
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-4770 (3.4GHz) 8MB Cache The same performance as the 4820k but cheaper platform
Motherboard
ASUS® Z87-A: ATX, USB3.0, SATA6GB/S, SLi, XFIRE Nice board, plenty of room to upgrade
Memory (RAM)
16GB KINGSTON DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 760 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready
Free Item

Memory - 1st Hard Disk
240GB INTEL® 530 SERIES SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 540MB/sR | 490MB/sW)
2nd Hard Disk
2TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD2003FZEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm) I advise this over the hybrid drives.
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM

Forgot your 3nd blu ray drive/office etc. but should still be a bit cheaper, with better HDD, cooling and case

Thanks for your input Mantadog, been away for a while so sorry for the late reply...if you dont mind casting your eye over this one below as my computer technician who looks after the network says he can build me the following pc.



Intel i7 3.7Ghz 4 core 4820k L310mb cache SK2011,
Win 7 Pro 64 bit,
Gigabyte GA-X792011 Motherboard,
16GB Kingston DDR3 1600Mhz RAM,
256GB Sandisk SSD 3 HDD (read 530mb/s, write 455mb/s) ,
2TB TOSHIBA SATA HDD,
Samsung 16xDVD+RW,
Gigabit LAN,

TBH im quite prepared to through a few quid at these new PC's but I dont want to buy a donkey

Just want to make sure im spending money on the right things.

The forums are for discussing PCS systems only.

 

[mantadog]

AS boozad pointed out this is for PCS builds only, discussing self builds or competitor options is against the rules.

What I will say is that you get a warranty from PCS that's dealt with in one place, rather than having to send components back to individual manufacturers. anything goes wrong with a self built system and it can be a nightmare, with a PCS system its all covered under one roof.

 

[Littletruck]

Sorry guys, didn't mean to break the rules......The only thing I have heard about PCS is that should I need to send my PC back I need to back it up myself as they do not guarantee the data.....can anyone confirm if this is correct.

 

[steaky360]

Yeah that's correct, although I don't think they would wipe it deliberately, they won't back it up should they have to wipe it for whatever reason. So if there is anything on there that you don't want to lose I'd back it up.
