Question(s):

I took the $500 build and put this in it, removing the 4g ram.
Will it still work/should I do it? I had some questions on the mother board with the 1660(OC) and 1800(OC). What does (OC) mean?

I just purchased This budget gaming case for 50 bucks.
Good decision?

Depends on what you want to shove into it.

[moreforgets]

Overclocked.

How does one overclocked, and how is it better for price.

Do HDMI cables work cause I have a spare one lying around anyway.)

All of this comes to about £610. :D
What DVI cable would you recommend?

[Becquerel]

I give my laptop adequate Cooling/ventilation space and its still very hot. Whats a good cooler.

What surface do you most use it on?

Christmas is coming up and my family are searching for stuff to get me. I'd love a new laptop since my current one is getting quite outdated and can't run the newer games that are coming out like I'd want it to. I'd appreciate it if you could suggest some laptops at various prices.

Upgrading.

OK.
I'll get you one soon.

That's a CPU, and they are really common so they will be in stock within a few days.

That will work.
Generally steer clear of having to OC RAM if you don't know what you are doing. The 1333 you suggested will be fine.

Looks decent. What are you going to use it for? Boot? SRT?

Okay, so~

Any DVI to DVI cable will work TBH.
Also, do be aware that that monitor is only 17 inch, and isn't widescreen.
You are aware you can add a monitor through the CyberPower configurator? I'm not sure of the price though.

No price cap? It would be easier to find a good deal if we knew your budget, but either way I can sort something out for you.

probably can't even run it on medium lol.

Seriously, those kinds of cards are only good as HTPC cards, other than that, they're crap.


Also, question here, My 20" monitor is VGA, is that bad? How much worse than HDMI or DVI? Hope it's not too bad, I mean, at least I'm running higher than 720p (900p)
