Hi all,

I need some help with a gaming pc build. My budget is 570.00 GBP. I would not need a monitor, keyboard or mouse. I will need a operating system, preferably a windows one, not fussed which version as I have had both. I would like a nvidia video card, but its up to you.

I will mainly be using this pc for gaming, playing games like COD, Battlefield(if you can), Sims 4(mainly), Minecraft, Dayz, Garrys Mod, Football Manager 15, and CS:Go.

If you have any recommended websites, etc please link them

Thanks for all of your help.

Yes it is one of the latest.

If your willing to up your budget by 20-30gbp you could get a better version of the 970.

Or you could drop 4gb of ram and add 4gb ram later on.

But yes the 970 is a fantastic card.

OC the pentium, add an ssd and a aftermarket cooler when you can.

A pentium with a 970 really? For that budget you can get a much better build, with a more balalnced CPU/GPU. Wait until the PC fanatics come along to the rescue (Buxtyy, Gigahertz, Craiggyy,) and other people.

I'd get this build, more balanced. The Pentium wouldn't get the full potential out of the 970 so you'd might aswell grab a tad weaker card for a way more powerful processor. As they both use the same architecture the i5 is pretty much two Pentiums strapped together.

id rather get the pentium in that budget, the later on easily upgrade the cpu to an i5k. Its easier and cheaper to swap out the pentium then swap out a not as good gpu.

Its not a case of which is cheaper/easier to swap out when you want to upgrade, its a case of the Pentium not utilising the 970 fully.
