Whats your pc?

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

Ok so i think this is going to be my final build, ive been saving up for a while now and my dad told me he will pay for a bit of it as i start school again tomorrow and i can use this for my school work. I'm not too bothered about the shitty keyboard and mouse it was just to lower the price down a bit, also I'm thinking about getting a PCI Card instead of an Adapter too.

For a A chip, I'd recommend a watercooler or some sort of Performance Air cooler and the fastest RAM possible. Really interested to see how they work with MXS though, keep it updated.

Are liquid coolers necessary though? I don't particularly want to spend money on one and i don't want to buy anymore ram either.

I figured it was a prebuilt with options which is why I said anything. Most cases RAM doesn't matter but you can get more FPS out of faster RAM with an APU because it depends on it for the CPU and GPU task. I suggested a cooler because as you can imagine the one chip doing both ends of work will become hot so to get and keep a stable clock out of it I would have a cooler on there. Neither are necesarry I guess but they would certainly help.

Nope, you tell the guys at http://www.cclonline.com what you want and it will be at your house in 6-10 working days, they also make gaming pc's at low prices with free next day delivery which is pretty awesome! I looked at this pc and think I might change over to it, it also comes with Sniper Elite 3

The i3 leaves a little to the imagination but considering the socket type gives plenty of room for upgrades if you take that route and a GTX 660 still is a great card.

I do notice that it says "No Operating System", you taking that into account with pricing?

Ill be buying it with windows 8.1 which brings it up to £570 or around that. I could also buy it with a different processor installed, what would you recommend?

I have a question, probably simple to you guys. Would 1 stick of 8GB DDR3-1600 run better than 2 sticks of 4GB DDR3-1600?

2x 4gb sticks would be faster, as long as you put them in corresponding slots on the motherboard e.g putting them in the 2 slots that are the same colour not two different colours.

Alright, thanks. Now to my next question, should I get an R7 260X, GTX 750 Ti, GXT 660, or a Radeon HD 7870? (All 2GB cards)

Considering its for gaming only, no. I think an i3 will be just fine for a few years to come atleast.

Go with either the 750Ti or 660. GPU Boost 2.0 on all the 700 cards is fantastic and a 750/660 are super close in performance wise. Really just comes down to the cheapest and which one you think looks better because a cool cooler always give more FPS.

PUNS!
