Hello everyone,

I bought my last PC 2 years ago from here and absolutely loved it. In fact I still do but i'm itching to get another PC. I have a budget of around £1500. This is to spend on the computer only and no peripherals. Would anyone be so kind as to post a spec? A few things in mind 1) I like Intel processors 2) I'm all about Nvidia and am looking at the 970 3) I want a bad ass case. Anyone able to help? <3

This would take you slightly over budget but it'll also depend on your case choice, although you could drop down to 8GB of RAM and just upgrade later on if you wish. The 750D is a £109 case so if you fancy anything cheaper/ more expensive you can adjust according to that, as we all have our own views of what a "badass" case is. I personally think minimal, sleek designs are cool, but this gives you the flexibility to tailor to your taste.

Also, you get a 980!


This is mainly a gaming rig though, I don't really know what other intentions you have for this rig.
