PC rig ideas.

Thanks nev. wil take a look. Seems pretty similar apart from th gfx card. Don't need a psu. Btw am I correct in saying the minimum parts I need are CPU mobo ram ssd or hdd for it to work. As thinking of getting minimum and adding o it other upgrades over next month or so.

Depends on if the mobo has onboard graphics. I do not think the sabertooth does. SO some sort of graphics card would be needed.

All LGA1150 motherboards support onboard graphics cards, they have a video output on the back I/O plate. More to do with the CPU, the i7 has  a Integrated HD 4600 Graphics and the i5 a HD4000. They support low end needs and can even play a surprising number of games. Rome Total War, BF2, Counterstrike: GO etc...

Thanks nev that's good to know. As I can get it started then for just over 500 and then finish it off over a couple of months.

How much are you willing to spend?

[robin1989]

I don't have a max budget. The one I have thought out is likely to be just under a grand maybe 800 will see when I get round to buying. Why you ask?

I would go for something like this, Closed loop watercooling so you can OC the CPU reasonably if you dont want to deal with that go for a Hyper 212 probably the best air cooler for sub £30, you could go for 16GB of RAM off the bat but not much point, PC case if personal choice, Fractal and Corsair Obsidian look sweet IMO, you might as well wait a few weeks until the 760's are announced, Solid State for OS and programs, a Cheep Optical drive because they are useful but not really used. A well known PSU because you want clean power if you OC a little. I just threw this together in like 20 mins so i dunno about RAM timings with that Mobo. Major part of building a PC Is spending hours researching it
