I'd like to revive this quickly.

This seems like a much better build idea, £1800 for the kind of looks and performance I want. Is it better? Anything I'm still doing anything wrong?

video card is still wayyyy too much, just get one 970 and youre good

also,
>amd
pls

I used to think that way about AMD, turns out they're pretty good. Also the R9 295x2 tops 100fps in most things, especially the games I play, and that's a 144hz monitor.

Change that CPU jesus christ.

Change that CPU jesus christ.

I'm not so familiar with AMD processors, I saw the 6 cores and the 3.9GHz and assumed that was pretty good. Is there something you'd recommend in its place?

That CPU is going to bottleneck the graphics card you want terribly and it's very old. Pick up a i5-4690K it's like $230 or a bit more, i'd also just recommend you getting a GTX 970 like Yogurt said, which is around $250 and can max every game out right now. And if you do get the GTX 970 you can knock your PSU down a few watts, like a 700W one will do fine and save some cash.

If you want to build a PC the website ViBox is amazing, it might only be a British website but as far as I'm aware it should ship to america or have an american domain too. but yeah great deals on even custom built PC's there. Also best option for a graphics card is most likely a GTX 970 or maybe a bit lower.

Here's the ViBox link: https://www.vibox.co.uk/build-your-own

I live in England, so shipping's not a problem. However, I also don't have infinite money or a desire to purchase an inefficient computer.

The problem with buying a system in that way is that you have to pay for labour costs, and safe delivery of the system, and all the parts are priced slightly higher, and you have less options, and it's all basically done in a way to squeeze a little bit more money out of you in every way they can.

Here, I made a build with ViBox and then made the exact same PC on PCPartPicker.

The ViBox PC was £1541.86 and the PartPicker build was £1439.77

Get a 970. Best bang for your buck. You don't need a 295x2

And for future referance, clock speed doesn't necessarily mean better CPU. AMD just sucks at utilizng what they have, and you'll often find that the lower cores and clock speed i5s will easily outperform any AMD CPU.

I no longer require help with this.
