hmmm, the i5 6600 is £3 cheaper than the i5 6500 on Amazon.

I rather like the look of the NZXT H440 case in white, although I can't get over the total lack of optical drive bay.
e: probably something like this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/k4hqYJ

Roger.
So this : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Skylak.../dp/B010T6CWI2 and : http://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-16-Me.../dp/B00TY6A1LY ^ Reputable source?? Both seem to be available from amazon.co.uk as the seller. Shall I go for it? Last edited by The Scientist; 01-Apr-2016 at 17:39. |

I've just found a 3tb WD red hdd under my bed! I forgot I had to RMA one a year ago on the NAS and I'd bought a replacement being impatient waiting for it..

Will your current monitor last a bit longer, allow you to spread the cost?
Is the graphics card to last a while, or to tide you over? Do you want to run VR at some point? Last edited by Belgarath; 03-Apr-2016 at 01:30. |

Current monitor is a 21inch dell jobby. The 27 inch Asus ips ones I've been looking at come in at less than 200 notes. Or will that be shite? What options and differences are there for these stupidly priced ones @ £400+.
I've decided I'll probably upgrade the gfx in a year or so when vr is mainstream, so a average card to see me through till then. |

The thing to consider is whether you'll want a 4K monitor - may be worth waiting until you get a better graphics card, if so.

Ahh OK. I have no 4k media atm. I'm guessing games allow you to run them at 4k nowadays? I think I'll prolly stick with HD for now.

Not unless you're a CS:GO pro or really picky, I wouldn't have thought. If you see one you like check a load of reviews for it, and possibly check some out in person if you can to see the difference between TN, IPS etc.

2560x1440 would be the performance goal these days, the "new 1080p", if you like. Looks gorgeous, especially at top settings, and doesn't need a huge investment. In your case though, if you want to keep the budget trimmed, there's bugger-all wrong with 1080p. A new rig will mean all settings at ultra/max @ naughty framerates.

The trend is for a gentleman to keep his filth on a discreetly hidden NAS server.

Novatech have this ASUS GeForce GTX 960 STRIX OC for £149.99 - worth considering and should tide you over for a year or two.

I have this monitor and it's lovely:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-GW2765H...dp/B00M913DVG/ Slightly above your budget. I wouldn't bother with a 4k monitor right now (especially if you only get the gtx 960) |
