New Computer. Advice please.

Recommended Posts

I'm a fairly new gamer and I play games such as DayZ, BF3, Dota 2 War Thunder, Civ V, CS. My budget for a PC is about £950. I will be ordering it off of cyber power and I will not rethink this. My current fps on DayZ is about 20 (outside of towns) so anything will be an improvement. If I can save money, it would be nice but if it will drastically decease my fps then I will spend more. These are the 2 builds I am debating over. I would like to record my game play in future and this can come in to effect too.

Both seem/are over-priced which is to be expected with cyber-power, I suggest using another site.

monitor & keyboard seem fine for a new gamer, was not a fan of the R.A.T myself but that's just me.

Happy to help :)

You can also ring them but weekends are no use, Monday-Friday they answer as they can get just about anything, larger SSD, water cooling etc isn't on the website but they will sell you them.
