    Need help with my new gaming pc specs

    Hi all, can someone look at this and give me opinions please? considering my budget is around £900 (not dollars)

    Power Supply - Corsair TX650 V2 650W
    Processor - Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4Ghz - Highly Overclockable
    Overclocking - None
    Processor Cooler - Stock Manufacturer Heatsink and fan
    RAM - 8GB Corsair DDR3 XMS3 1600MHz/PC12800
    Motherboard - Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI Mini ITX
    Graphics card - Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 2GB *Nvidia Batman Promotion*


    Games i'm looking to play is something at the level of skyrim, maybe the new ESO, at ultra settings.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Is there any reason you dont just use the same system as already posted? Is this a second system? It's only been a few days since you last asked, so I'm a little confused.
    Gaming: Dual Intel Pentium III Coppermine @ 1400mhz + Blue Orb | Asus CUV266-D | GeForce 2 Ti + ZF700-Cu | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 | Whistler Build 2267
    Media: Dual Intel Drake Xeon @ 600mhz | Intel Marlinspike MS440GX | Matrox G440 | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 @ 166mhz | Windows 2000 Pro

    seems like a habbit nowadays .. mrrr made 4 post about his new build, same for firedchickennisha.... people just dont want to answer on the sticky and wait for the closure of the discussion...
    anyhow... go for tenangrys build as its best value for money atm... u may want to get a r9 280x as its the 7970 rebranded but wil support mantle... but thats just a side note suggestion

    honestly, this whole thread is meant to help a friend of mine, and he's budget isn't that high, so he's trying to find the perfect build for his budget, which is why i posted 2 builds, he came up with the 2nd one this morning and wanted advice.



    @flens
    Cheers for the suggestion

    well yeah, though it would be better to fill out the sticky and ask ur friend what it is he wants to do with the pc... for some it may be better to get a 4770k instead of a 4670 k and so on and so on... to fullfil needs with some to less info is just impossible...

    Okay so is the same system? New one? What is the budget?

    if this is a new build just.. fill out the sticky. You said it was the same setup as before, but it's not?
