need help building a gaming rig

[mockingjay]

that all looks really great thanx for all the help. now to convince my rents to pay for it

[Goku]

If for w/e reason they want it cheaper I can still get a cheaper mobo and processor plus a few other things. What I have up here now is still a good gaming machine. Anything else will start breaking it down too much I think is all. So hold your ground .

[mockingjay]

before i start buying things are you 100% sure everything will work and also will it be able to run bf3 at highest graphics?

[Rbstr]

Will it work? Yes

BF3 at highest graphics? doubtful, unless you go with lower resolution.

[mockingjay]

how well will it be able to run thingslike bf3, swtor, skyrim etc?

[Rbstr]

Things will be playable.You're just going to have to find your preferred balance between graphics and performance.

[mockingjay]

ok great as long as it can run the games with little lag i dont mind too much about having the best graphics. thanx for all the help you have given me im hoping to start building it soon

[mockingjay]

With the H61 motherboard? No.

Edit: Fuck, okay, yes. I'm not doing very well here the last couple of days...

There is no IB in your price range ATM. However if you want to upgrade to a quad core a year or two down the line you can do so with a bios update.

[mockingjay]

ok thanx

If you want to try saving a few more £ try Amazon and Ebuyer, overclockers is not renown for being the cheapest UK retailer.
