Budget PC around R 15k

Nea, OS is sorted.

I'm looking at this. But R 22.5 is a bit steep. I need to cut it down slightly:

R 4599.00 Intel i7 - 4790k 4Ghz
R 2699.00 G.skill F4-2400 16GB
R 2059.00 ASRock Z87M
R 1549.00 Crucial 250GB SSD
R 749.00 WD 1TB HDD
R 1034.00 Asus 12xBluray/DVD+RW
R 1600.00 PSU
R 1600.00 Keyboard
R 1000.00 mouse
R 1200.00 Speakers
R 3000.00 Screen
R 1500.00 Soundcard - Soundblaster Z PCI-e

Edit: Jirre, only realised now there is not even a GPU in there... bleh...

If it's mid range you're after drop the 4790k and get an i5.
 
Right so placing the order with Wootware.

Anyone know how long delivery takes? If I order by end of today I should have it by Friday?
Everything is in stock either at supplier or Warehouse.

You should have it by end of week, I reckon. It's usually pretty fast.

What does the dawn wing tracking say?

I ordered my stuff from two different suppliers using two different couriers and both delivered within an hour of each other.

Just checked now.

Pretty sure it will arrive in PTA today. And then sent out for delivery tomorrow.
 
Nice build! I used yours as a rough guide - and then went over the top... Luckily it's a business expense, so I get a vat/tax break on it. :D

Lucky :)

I'll up a few things little later. But in the mean time it should be ok. Will see what new cards come out. I'll upgrade the card and the GPU later. (Budget constraints and all that :o)
 
I dont get why you buying the PSU though, seems abit sub par, like one of those generic craps

Well the GPU needs 750 constant. It's rated Gold and 750. Only one I could fit in budget for the time being. I'll see how it pans out. Else I'll replace the one in the old machine with this one and just buy another for the new machine. Old machine has a 350 in it I think.
 
I wouldn't worry about that Antec PSU - it's gotten some very good reviews!
