New gaming PC?

Post by **Lude-dude** » Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:17 pm

I've been out the game for a while, when I bought my gfx card and heard it ramp up I thought this cant be right

so this is normal then? I hoping to find a more quiet card next time

Most you can control the fans on now through software. Think mines runs at 30% on idle and ramps up as it needs extra cooling during gaming

@LewisH Spotted this bundle on OCUK

Doesn't have the corsair ram though but it's overclocked and has a cooler

Or I can buy the same as you posted, Ram and Processor from Ebuyer and Mobo from OCUK for £349.84 delivered add in my own cooler and have the option to overclock it myself

What are your thoughts? I currently have one of OCUK's overclocked bundles and it's done me well till now (Apart from playing silly buggers at the mo)

Oh it's not the gaming edition mobo, what's the difference?

Lewis, you should try one of my cases then

Here is an old i7 system I am putting together for work and promotional media.

Ammo, that's a good spot! only reason i specc the "gamng boards" is because there specifically built for gaming machines, its not going to make a difference to be quite honest! Thats a nice bundle and a good spot!

Still has the Z87 chipset (newest chipset out atm) has a very nice, overclockable i5 processor, and 8gb of 1600mhz ram, Kingston hyper X stuff is good.

Guess my Nvidia 460GTX (It's a GTX not a GTS as i said before) will be the limiting factor?

Yes, basically. If you can stretch to it....

Bargain prices atm.

Not in one hit, but then I don't think I've ever spent more than £120 on a gfx card lol
