PC help!!!/advice. First pc build.
- Thread starter The1Meteor
- Start date
Hey The1Meteor, I have altered your spec slightly. To address some of your questions:
1. Is there anything you would remove from my build to save money (something I've added which is not needed for this type of build).
The cooler has been removed to replace with an air cooler - technically you do not need such a cooling system for a locked CPU. Air cooling should be sufficient for the i5-6600
2. Is there anything you would change or swap for something better but at around the same price range (example: remove 2 or 3 not needed items to replace for 1 good item) .
The GPU has been changed to the GTX 960 -As an entry level gaming PC, the GTX 960 is perfect and manages medium to high at 1080p.
3. Have I added to much cooling equipment which isn't needed. And 4. Is there a better build for around this price range, £650-£750(Vat included).
See #1 and the spec below:
Also replaced the motherboard to utilise the use of USB 3.1 and with extra "gamer" features in the software.

PC advice..my first build
hi guys, could you please check out my gaming build below and let me know what you guys think of it? I have a few questions, is the wireless card I have chosen good? And how does it work? Also, what is the difference between the 4Gb nvidia graphics card I have chosen and the exact same one but the 2Gb version, I know one has bigger memory, but does this really matter when it comes to graphics cards? Also what would be the better option in your opinion out of the 2 graphics card? Does the one with bigger memory have less performance ect.. Is there anything on this build you would change remove or upgrade? I'll be using it for casual gaming and Web surfing ect. My budge is £650-750 this build comes in at £749

The reason why i started a new thread is because its a completley different build to the one on this thread, its not a duplicate. and whenever i seem to try post my new build onto this thread no one answers my much needed questions...can you by any chance help?

It is a similar spec to the one suggested before. Keep in mind that most people posting here do not work for PCS and a bit of patience may be needed.
Same advice as Dannywanny, regarding the gpu the vram will help for higher resolutions not sure about performance on recent games but you could check benchmarks online
