Build Advice Building new gaming PC (£1200)

I'm planning an i7 build, for about 1k, and earlydoors is pretty much it. if you do spend 1 grand, you could always spend 200 quid on watercooling?

 

Ups. Apologies. The article doesn't mention 'air' but it does say it's 'easily achievable' which would make me think they don't mean liquid N2? Unless I've more n00b than I though

Either way, it does look more promising than I originally though.

 

Thanks for the replies, does this look like a good build?? Will 850W accomodate it?



Ben

 

Yeah, 850W should be more than enough. That setup looks pretty solid to me.

 

is there a reason why you are getting an ecogreen drive? is it the quiteness? the noraml F1 drive would give you better performance

 

They are cheaper atm.

 

But they are very slow.

 

i wouldn't say very slow, but i would still change it to a normal spinpoint.
