What is the original build
also sound cards are a big waste of money
its posted start of this thread. they range from 400 -1500
I'll look over them tonight and check they're still relevant and the best they can be. Onboard audio has improved so much that for the large part (unless specifically after a feature onboard audio cannot provide) the money is better spent elsewhere.
Its not the best. I'll make another one for you soon.

This is the one I would personally go for as I don't care for SSDs
Yes its over budget but you also need a case so that bumps you another £50 min so its no longer a £1500 build.
Swap out the 2 Fury for 1 x 980Ti and a case and you are back to £1,500 or so.
Yes this is definitely what to do if you have a hard set budget
Another thing you can do is get rid of the ssd
Me and thekeemo disagree on SSD, I wouldn't live without them now, but I am sure his hard drive has alien speed enhancing properties //static.avforums.com/styles/avf/smilies/clap.gif
It depends what res you are intending to game on whether you need two GPUs at the moment or one.
Couldn't disagree more about the SSD. That's like buying a Ferrari and putting a diesel engine in it.
You could cut costs by getting a 256GB SSD they can be had for as little as £60 these days.
hey at least I put one in. I was contemplating just leaving it out. Personally I can't feel the difference in performance except when it comes to noise.
