Hi everyone, over the past two weeks i've gone from knowing nothing about computers or what goes in them. I didn't really carewas just happy playing games. But now after my research i put together this build, i want to overclock to around 3.5ghz and play games in max/high mid graphics. Any suggestions on how to improve are greatly appriciated.
I don't need a hard drive, optical drive, OS or any periprials in this build
CPU - I5 750 - £150
GPU - XFX 5850 - £250
RAM - 2X2GB 7-8-7-24 - £80
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 - £100 (Dont want crossfire or sli, help would be appriciated in order to find a better/cheaper motherboard that will allow me to OC to 3.5 ghz.)
PSU - Corsair 650w (lots of builds use this in videos, build suggestions or reviews i've read. Don't know if i need 650w though. £70
Cooler - coolermaster 212 - £20
Case - HAF 922 - £75
Total - £745
Is there anything i am missing/can improve or get cheaper for similar quality? I haven't included any thermal paste, don't know if i need but i know i will get some with the cooler.
