So my brother is looking to upgrade a bit of an ageing rig, current Specs are:

CPU - i5 2500K (Socket 1155)
GPU - GeForce GTX 570
RAM - 16GB DDR3
PSU - TruePower 650
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-P67X-UD3-B3

He has had the following builds recommended to him, and I've taken a cursory glance over them but have my concerns.

Firstly, I believe the mantra is currently that an i7 is massive overkill if all you're doing is gaming (which he is for the most part,) and there is also a 980TI in there to boot, a card that's already six months old.

To my mind, something that's i5 might be better, with an 390 Radeon?

I've been out of the building scene for a whil

Full disclosure, I know Tristan in real life and he's a stand up guy, and very passionate about what he does. His post here will tell you all you need to know about him.

It was probably stolen because the thieves didn't want to pay for their own replacement.

It feels like the two people on either side are very closed in, and it looks rather awkward on camera.

It's almost as though a half-moon shape would have been better, with rather than the two people either side awkwardly avoiding looking at each other the entire time, everyone can look at the surrounding cameras but turn to each other easily when one person draws focus.

Or maybe I'm just way off?

It's taken them twenty days and they still haven't picked a starter.

I tear velcro quickly, due to the varied and jarring nature of some of the things I do. Velcro wears out and I end up with a fairly useless armband after a few months.

Are there others? Clip ones perhaps?
