Thanks! Thats a pretty good deal you  here. Ever thought of getting a  9xx series cards for yoru build?  Oooh thats luck you and ncie of your friend as well. Nice i have friend where i always by my pc parts as shes the manager of store so i get managers discount . i heard  crucial mx100 series M550 series for SSD are quite good especially the m100x series. Its as good as the samsung evo 840 in terms of performance but cheaper. Planning to get that SSD as i can't say no to that pricing lol.  Whats your budget for the build? 


I am planning on a 980 for sure, I have £300 saved already for those parts listed, £500 tax rebate I just got last week and a new part time job back at M&S till April so I'm definitely going to be covered on both the parts listed and a 980, however I am wanting a 1080p monitor first (Running 1366x768 atm)before going for a 980 just yet since I want to wait for a slight price reduction, I would like a 1440p minitor but I'm kinda strict when it comes to monitor prices with not wanting to spend more than at least £150-200 max.

I don't exactly have a set budget but the parts listed are what I'd want now that would do me for at least another 2-3 years before making a complete brand new build.

I'm also expecting a friend from the US who's making himself a enw build with a 980 and new SSD so he's wanting to give me his 780ti,SSD and PSU, I don't mind since I could probably replace the 680 depending on the condition of the 780ti (which would meet Witcher 3 recommended).

I know I should be replacing my internal HDD though since it;s a WD green and I'm not fond of it's write speed and slight slowness, I might end up going for a WD blu for my games and use the SSD for the OS /software/clients.

Nice !. YOu will be fine then with yoru new setup. Oh k fair enough.   They shouldn't be hard to find.  For my pc monitor currently usign samsung s27c350 led monitor. Thats a very good model and got good reviews.  Makes the gaems really sharp and bright lol.  HEHE  you got very generous friends. Yea it should meet it and if you get 980 card, you wil be bale to play it on max easily.  Lol  before this build i had a 500gb HDD 5200rpm for 6 years before getting a 3tb upgrade lol.  I uses seagate for my hard drives and they are pretty good and realiable.
