Yeah I'm not sure. I'm planning on buying my components after Christmas and into January so hoping there might be some special offers on somewhere and I could save some money off the bat. If not - I'd just like to be able to start off being able to play something like GTAV with the options...

Cool. Will be awesome when SSDs are nice and cheap. Think I'm almost done now: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/luke101213/saved/BMw8TW

I know it costs less these days but for £120 odd I could get a 120GB SSD for my OS etc, and a 2TB for my games/movies etc. I think I'd rather do than than have multiple/one really big SSD at a much higher cost.

Like the 'MSI Z97 Gaming 7 Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX Motherboard for instance? Seems to be getting good reviews and has all the features I think I need. I'd honestly love to have a main SSD but it's really a cost issue as I really want a non-OS drive that is 1TB minimum and that would be upwards...

Yeah I've been looking into it more and I think 8 would do. I assume pretty much all motherboards have 4 slots so I can always add more in a year or two if I need to. It's only really for gaming tbh, so I might as well invest the £60 into something else. Might be a daft question, but if I...

I'm in Dundee, which is only an hour from Edinburgh, so I think I'll be ok - but I'll check, thanks for the heads-up. I've had a quick look into the SLI issue with the Define R4 - it looks like the HDD bays would need to be removed but this is possible I think (I saw a load of images on...

Thanks for those builds! I am a little flexible on price if the machine is right. Have to admit - starting off with 2 970's is bloody tempting! And a Googling it shows that there's a good case to be made (haHA!) for choosing the Define R4 over the P280 (also £20 odd cheaper). Ok, so what I'm...

Thanks for your help! There's a good discount on a Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard if you think that would be a good option? Ok so the H100 over the H60. Could you suggest a good solid air cooler? - I mostly wanted the water cooler to reduce noise. (The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO seems to be...

So I'm planning on a new PC in the next month or two (after a lot of saving), was wondering if my fellow Escapists had any thoughts / suggestions / etc. Intel i5-4690k 2x8GB Kingston Hyper-X Fury Duel-DR3 Nvidia GEFORCE/MSI GTX970 (just the one with a view to getting a second in a few years...

Glad to see a few Fire Emblem characters xD

Not that I 'hate' anything per-se, but the CoD franchise needs to start producing good games again. Also Halo - possibly the most overrated franchise of all time. 'Combat Evolved' my ass.

Meh, some good free games - Peggle, Sims 2 complete, Burnout, etc., but the store prices are unjustifiable. I only use it because some games force me - wouldn't bother otherwise. It's not BAD as such (apart from the store), it's just inferior to Steam in pretty much every department.

Umm, hope about none? I mean if you're going to control guns, CONTROL GUNS.

Doesn't help that most of the players have been playing nothing else for years, it means if you come into a game like that, 90% of your opponents are total vets!

I'd probably say I was less than that, taking into account Mac/Linux duplicates, Episodic games, etc. Also those games that were free / insanely cheap which I just havn't gotten around to yet.
