PC for a 1000 pounds?

gibb · 2 Jan 2010 at 20:56

If you really want to spend £1000 and really want a near silent computer I would consider buying a SSD. I might have been unlucky but even HDDs considered extremely quiet are the loudest components in my not incredibly quiet computer.

Okay, have had a look at the AMD build for 700 £
Would that be a good choice?

But would that one do the job? or should I take the Intel one?

mrteabag · 2 Jan 2010 at 22:01

That would do fine,but i would recommend a corsair power supply.
But if i was choosing,i would pick the intel.

Okay... uhmmm but I think it will be hard to get them all togetherin the case... Never tried it before... What about an alredy builded sytem by overclockers?

freakdk · 2 Jan 2010 at 22:13

Oh and I've never tried to install the water cooling either.. so

You'd be better of with my previous suggestion then. Do you want that monitor?.

freakdk · 3 Jan 2010 at 10:37

Uhmm I think I'm going to order a setup home, and then try it out on my IBM monitor, if I'm not satisfied I might buy that screen, yes.

But still, wouldn't you think and ATI card would be better, since they can be upraded to direct 11 ?

EDIT:
Maby I should go ask about this in the gfx section?

Select a OS and a ati 5770 and you will be fine

I'm presuming you mean 'upgraded' and the answer is no, they can't be upgraded to directX 11 because all the 5xxx series cards are already DX11 capable.
All you need is nothing more than a £600 system for it to do what you want; either an i5 build or Phenom build would suit you fine.

freakdk · 3 Jan 2010 at 13:09

Yeah bJN, Direct 11 now or what ever, I gues you're right ^^
But as I said before I allso want a system that can run a long time without any expansive upgrades....
But as I also said I might consider buying that intel / amd set for 700£

But Chiiives link looks nice too + it's prebuild so I don't have to do anything, or worry about anything

freakdk · 3 Jan 2010 at 14:55

Okay, have almost made up my mind:
I think I want to buy one of the following:
The "Titan Goliath" - with ATI 5770x2
Or
The "Ultima Vanquish" - with ATI 5770x1

What do you think would be best?

Robert1986 · 3 Jan 2010 at 15:21

Just buy the damn computer lol. Either will more than meet your needs for gaming and you'll be one happy chappy.

Direct X 11 cards right now probably won't be that great for games that push direct X 11. I'd wait until theres a good amount of games that use direct X 11 well. Don't get a gfx card just because it as direct X 11 support.

direct X eleven

#34 Yeah I know Dan

#33 Well that did not answer my question, and I can't see whats wrong with the fact that I just want to be sure before spending my money on it?....

I kinda did answer your question. It doesn't matter which one you buy, you'll be able to play every game out today. Its your choice really.

wakayoda · 3 Jan 2010 at 18:23

the 1000 is a very silly idea, a athlon II set up would suit you fine

my pc costs under 300 and can run all of those games easily

Okay, just didn't understand the answer then

the op wants the best pc he can get for £1000, a cheaper pc may play the games he plays at the moment but he might want to play something more powerful at some point. personally i'd get a 5870 with a phenom ii or i5 setup - whatever keeps it near £1000. if the prices are similar i'd go i5.
