You're better off spending extra on the graphics card.looking at it, it's about £60 for 16gb and half that for 8£30 isn't really gonna make a big jump on a graphics card, because the model above the one I looked at (I think) goes up by a hundred and somethingtruuuuu😂😂👌

There's a site called PC part picker or somethin like that where you can get your builds and lists together so you can plan it, cant get the link so I'm on mobile but a google search on the name should bring it up. It's pretty 👌
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/XHM2K8hope the link worksthrew that together with some of the suggestions ITT (i7/970 etc) but the rest is pretty much chosen off review tier and best guessesprice estimate on that isn't gonna be right either because there is already a hundred quid saved by buying the CPU/GPU off newegg so ehthoughts/revisions?

Motherboard would be Gigabyte brand instead of Asus and I'd swap MSI with Nvidia personally. Otherwise you have a pretty decent setup.
Buy red and yellow paint to decorate your pc case with flames so it runs faster

I thought it was all nvidia anyway?
just as important as your sound.

Oh, in regards to RAM. If you're going for 16GB, get two 8GB sticks. It'll be a bit better for the same reasons as the hard drive thing.

Is that a good one to go for?

EVGA cards are usually more expensive, and they do supposedly have better customer supportthat said you'll only really need customer support if there's something wrong with your cardI'm also surprised you haven't heard of ASUS, they're a pretty big name for laptops, GPUs and motherboards especially, and they're pretty high up on customer support ratingsother than that no GPU will be particularly different from any reseller, ASUS, Palit, Zotac, EVGA, Gigabyte, they'll all perform identicalalso have a look at the GPU coolers if you're not planning to have any watercooling (which is probably not suitable for your budget), you'll either get a blower or open-air, open-air is generally quieter and better at keeping your GPU cool, blowers are usually loud but overall the computer will be cooler on the inside as it also acts as an outtake

PC build planning - suggestions please
