    A few weeks ago I posted about a custom gaming PC for around £600. This is what I made up from what you guys said, I now have the money after xmas to get the Gaming PC and I am wondering if this is still the best thing to get for the money I have (Anything around £600).

    Rep+ for all replies (That help)

    Couldn't you go for a i5 2500k instead? I think that's what the majority of people suggested in the other thread.

    Oh hang on, I see you selected the 2400 now. I'd definitely go for the 2500 (or the 2500k if you're overclocking)

    Aaahh my bad, i didn't see it was just 2400 not 2400k

    Ok i'll get 2500

    EDIT: after that, is that a complete PC? If I put that all together will it work/is it all compatible?

    EDIT2: The motherboard and optical drive are both 'out of stock' is there anything which is the same and in stock?

    (Sorry this is my first custom pc, bit of a noob)

    Pretty much any SATA optical drive will do.

    I prefer Asus and Gigabyte motherboards.

    Any recommendations? (Needs to be a LGA1155 socket)

    I'm not up to date. I'm currently running an Asus P8P67, but there's probably better alternatives now as I got mine when LGA1155 first came out and Z68 didn't exist. Any ATX board on the Z68 chipset from one of these brands should be fine.

    So I should get Z68 and not LGA1155?
