What is your budget? About £7-800 ($1100-1300ish) including monitor! What is your resolution? 1920 x 1080 (I would prefer a 27" monitor but I have heard some people talk about the pixel sizing being a problem or something? Not too sure about this and would love some input!) What are you using it for? A lot of gaming - Would love to start streaming also. What is your upgrade cycle? Well my last 2 pcs have lasted a good few years so i'd hope this could last at least 3 or so. When do you plan on building it? Within the next few weeks. Do you plan on overclocking? No probably not, maybe a safe 5-10% or something at some point. Do you need an Operating System? Yes, windows 7 home premium preferred. Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire? No Where are you buying your parts from? Online (Was planning on getting the parts from ebuyer), I live in England. Things I can salvage from this PC are a Corsair 650W TX power supply, case(antec900), and 1tb harddrive I plan to reformat/wipe clean and put win7 on. I was also thinking of getting an SSD alongside my old HD for just my games but am unsure on what size etc so any help there would be great also. Cheers! | ||

you can't expect us to guess that, and the gpu that will be suggested will entirely depend on that | ||

A 27" monitor with 1920x1080 pixels will have a pixel dimension of 0.3x0.3 mm. That's something that's clearly visible with the naked eye. Whether it's a problem, I don't know. More expensive 27" monitors, such as the excellent Dell Ultrasharp U2711 have a higher screen resolution, which decreases the pixel size somewhat. Regarding overclocking, the new Sandy Bridge processors are extremely easy to overclock safely. A 2500k can be pushed from 3.3 to 4 GHz without changing anything else (voltage etc) even if you have a very poor sample. Almost all will go to 4.5 GHz without more than a little bit of effort. Most will go beyond this, but it requires more knowledge. So instead of a "safe 5 to 10%" you should consider a "safe 30%". You will need a third party cooler though. The stock Intel cooler does fine at default speeds, but it's fairly worthless for overclocking. | ||
