Gaming build, approx €1k budget

Newaglish

Upgrading my 3/4 year old self-build PC purely for gaming purposes. Want to be able to play all modern games on pretty much max settings and futureproof it for future games also. All I'm really keeping from my old PC is the 1TB Samsung HDD along with the peripherals (monitor, keyboard, etc.)

The components I'm looking to buy are below:



So it's a Motherboard, CPU, PSU, Solid State Hard Drive (for the OS), and GFX card. Are those reasonably good options? Have I picked any dud components? Haven't done this in a while so a bit rusty on what the good items are!

Cheers Burgo

Would there not be a reasonable drop in quality between the 2GB and 1GB GFX cards?

None. Extra RAM means next to nothing in most games. If you like using 16xAA in your games, then yeah, maybe, (assuming you don't run into a GPU bottleneck first) but other than that...

Can't go much wrong with that bunch of money mate

Take bigger and faster SATA-600 disk defo as Burgo said.

Your original motherboard has Z68 chipset which can switch between integrated and dedicated graphics, still has P67's overclockability
