Anything else/ Anything less?

[conscu]

Hey, could someone check if this will work good with playing games like The Sims 3, WoW Cataclysm and things like that on HIGH settings?

It would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me what else to add or anything I should take out that isn't needed

thanks!

Out of curiosity how much does this come in at please?

 

[Tehmoe]

If you can afford it get the corsair psu, there psu are very high quality and cheaping out on the PSU is the worst thing to do. Its also one of the parts that u can keep for years to come and transfer from computer to computer so well worth it in the long run. Apart from that the system looks really nice man.

If you're not planning on much overclocking you could easily drop down to the i5-2500 CPU - the k variants are unlocked making overclocking easier, so not needed if not overclocking.

If you may be thinking about Crossfiring later, you may want to think about a higher PSU.

This Spec comes to £803. I don't think I'll be crossfiring in the future (I'm not an extreme gamer)

I've had others tell me to get the corsair 650w power supply but it adds £50 to my build :/

 

[MadMan]

you considered an amd build?

I'd rather go with Intel as I've had trouble with AMD in the past

Also - does PCS offer any other good quality PSU's that are under 600W?

The only good ones are all over 600W
