I am looking to build a gaming PC for as cheap as possible with the following components
i5 processor
GTX 970
8gb ram
Ssd and hdd

I need a monitor but not a mouse or a keyboard

I am just not sure about the other components and I also will not be overclocking

Thanks for any replies

What is your budget?

"Cheap as possible" is not a budget

With no OC that cooler is a waste of money. I'd also rather have a 970 with a better monitor; 980 with 1080p is a massive, massive waste of money.

Just fount this - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Get that instead of the current 970 in the screenshot. And then add an SSD if you're willing to spend a little extra.

Edit: nevermind the deal has ended. Was £220

1. You don't need a cooler unless you're planning on overclocking, which that CPU can't.
2. No need for a Z97 mobo unless you have an unlocked CPU, which that one isn't.
3. A 980 is overkill at this point, getting a 970 and later buying another in SLI is a much better option.

for your budget to go anything less than 1440p would be stupid imo. Notice the monitor isn't 1080p but is 1440p. Add an SSD later on

I suppose that's true I might just spend a little extra to get the ssd right now
