Upcoming Haswell Refresh Build
Hey guys, i'm in the market for a new gaming rig in the next month or so, and just wanted to get some opinions on the parts I have so far! I have a placeholder i5 4670K for the equivalent, refreshed CPU. I'm going to wait for a few reviews of the refresh, hopefully at the start of June and then make my decision from there as I'd like to get a good overclock on the go. I'd really appreciate some opinions on my selection! I also have a decent keyboard and mouse available already.
i5-4570K - £160 (placeholder only)
Corsair H100i Refurb - £62.50
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - £92 (after 20% cashback, purchased)
Kingston HyperX Beast 8GB DDR3-2400 - £52 (purchased)
Crucial M500 240GB - £80 (purchased)
Toshiba 2TB 3.5" HDD - £58
MSI GTX 770 2GB Twin Frozr - £240
Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 - £70
Corsair CX600M - £52
Windows 7 Pro - £0 (have a spare license)
AOC 23.6" E2461FWH - £115
Thanks,
JSmith
Re: Upcoming Haswell Refresh Build
Possibly a different PSU, other than the CX line, but other than that looks great! May I ask where the H100i is being sourced from as I am in the market for one :P
Re: Upcoming Haswell Refresh Build
Those are some good prices (20% cash back wow). Agree on the PSU,choose something different. Like an Fractal Design Tesla R2 500w for £52 (I think on Amazon).
Re: Upcoming Haswell Refresh Build
Different HDD to the Toshiba if possible, not great for reliability in my experience. Cooler Master V650 PSU would also be a better choice. Other than that, should be a nice gaming rig.
Re: Upcoming Haswell Refresh Build
That PSU is okay but not the best. Also go with an R9 280x, cheaper and performs about the same as a gtx 770
