Nvidia GTX 960 3GB
AMD Athlon 860k
16GB RAM
1000w PSU
Cooler Master Hyper 103 CPU fan
Gigabyte Asus Mobo that I forget the name of.


Lol why you sell a gaming PC to get a PS4? Surely a downgrade?

For me, I built my PC a couple of years ago
CPU; i7 5820K @ 4.2Ghz
Motherboard: Asus Rampsge V Extreme
GPU: Reference GTX 980
Storage: 120GB Damsung 840 EVO SSD + 2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro
PSU; Corsair RM1000
My peripherals and monitor are from my old POS Dell desktop

Also, have you built a computer before?


GTX 850M
i7 4710MQ
120GB Kingston Hyperx3K SSD
1TB HGST HDD
Okay so the CPU&Mobo, as well as the GPU, really need an upgrade.
When I bought this PC my intentions were to just play Counter-Strike (I've spent like 2500 hours just playing Global Offensive)
But I like other games too such as Metal Gear Solid V, and I really liked Watch Dogs too.

CPU: Athlon X4 760k (@4.6 GHz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: Sapphire HD 7850
Motherboard: Asus A88 XM-Plus
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2 x 4GB (1600 Mhz, Cl 9)
PSU: XFX 450W (Not a modular PSU, 80+ bronze of course)
Case: Aerocool DS Cube Silent Edition (in RED)

Peripherals:
Monitor: Samsung 21.5" 5ms 60 Hz (yes, needs an upgrade)
Keyboard: Logitech K120 aka £10 keyboard.
Mouse: Sharkoon Fireglider (Laser, not optical, also needs an upgrade lol)
Mousemat: Razer Goliathus Control Edition (Large)
Headset: Razer Kraken Pro (Green) - this has the worst mic EVER and needs an upgrade.

Waiting for the GTX 1060 and will probably upgrade to an i5 too, when I get the monies. :frown:
