So if you had 2k to spend what would you get?

£2000?
That's probably about 40 hookers with change for a couple of beers and a bus ticket to the clinic.
Think about it man, don't waste £2000 on a PC!

Would still get something like mine if I had 2 grand, then probably spend the rest on getting a car.

or just buy it all second hand and put it together ya self

This is my current rig.

I7 920 DO
Asus p6t dlx v2
6gb ocz reaper 1600 c7
xfx gtx 275
LG blu ray drive
320gb samsung F1 WD caviar 250gb
corsair hx 850w
Benq fp241w
Lian Li A70F

All that has cost the best part of £2000.00 (not counting keyboards, speakers and mice). If i had money spare id upgrade the graphics card to a pair of 5870's, then watercool the cpu to start with.

i put all mine together for 1500 ordered most off it form america got the 2 275gtx's from ocuk for £300 for the pait the 920 d0 was 150 and so was mobo got a great bargin on it all still worth its money now and ive been using it for about 6 months

My board, cpu and ram came to £550.00 or so from ocuk, single most expensive part was the Benq fp241w 24" lcd, £430.00 2 years ago. My current gx 275 was an rma replacement for a gtx 280 that failed (£280.00). My next purchases will be a bunch of watercooling kit for the cpu. Btw Mr May, what's the performance in games like with the sli gtx 275's. Im finding my single card to be a bit sluggish, particularly in bfbc2.

Mr. May · 20 Mar 2010 at 23:41

eats everything for breakfast at 1650x1050 also got a 8600gt for two side monitors and pyshixs

Schoieuk · 4 Apr 2010 at 20:53

nice, keep up the posts!

thingemajib · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:04

keep my current rig, uprate the PSU and go for a 6 screen eyefinity setup.

and change the mobo if i got any cash leftover...

Schoieuk · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:06

Why do people want the eyefinity setup? would realy annoy me with so many splits in the screens...

thingemajib · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:13

because 1, its a 5 minute gimmiky wonder, which is right up my street
and 2, i meant 5 screens (you reposted before i could stealthily edit ... dam you

)
stick em all in portrait, arrange them in a 5x1.

Grimley · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:14

I'm going against the grain here with an AMD spec.

Schoieuk · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:17

mattjd · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:35

Fallen god · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:48

Locke · 4 Apr 2010 at 21:54

I wouldn't buy much since I have everything I need already

Ok ok, maybe a 5970 or 2...... I'd rather not though since I've always had painful experiences with ATI and their drivers.
