First Gaming Build

Conran

Hey boards, this is my first gaming build and I have a budget of 800 euro. I'm hoping to be able to play battlefield 3 and any future games. As it is my first build I was wondering if u guys could steer me in the right direction

Yeah that looks really good, was looking at the 6950s myself but didn't know what they were like. I would need win7 and I don't have a keyboard or mouse.

I need everything but the monitor.

better off getting an amd cpu then as there alot cheaper and there phenom cpu's are still really fast just not as fast as the 2500k but that makes next to no difference in games, it's all about the gpu but i am going to include a motherboard that will support amd's new platform when they come out which should match intel's sandybridge so you got a choice for a future upgrade:

Total build cost: €740.65 + €30 shipping
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Box, Sockel AM3 €93.02
Arctic Freezer xtreme Rev 2.0, alle Sockel €24.99
8GB-Kit G.Skill RipJaws-X PC3-10667U CL9 €42.80
Club 3D Radeon 6950 1024MB, AMD Radeon HD 6950, PCI-Express €188.59

Samsung SH-222AB bare schwarz SATA €16.57
WD Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 3 6Gb/s €50.12
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SB-Version Englisch €81.22
Cooler Master CM Storm Inferno Mouse, USB €35.43
Logitech Speaker System Z313 €30.89
Gigabyte GA-970-UD3, AMD 970, AM3+, ATX €77.02

You'll need to buy your keyboard locally as you need it to be in irish\uk layout, it dosn't need to be a fancy one just make sure it's wired and usb, wireless keyboards are useless for gaming
