Spec me a £1500 rig :D

Guitarman0 · 13 Jul 2010 at 14:27

Could you guys spec me a £1500 rig. I would preferably like an ATi Card (I am thinking 5870) and an i7. The rig will be used for gaming. I also need an OS and preferably a 1TB drive but I could live with a 640GB one

I do not need a monitor, keyboard, mouse or speakers...just a PC

Thanks

Have you seen the build in the sticky? Anything you don't like about it?

A little over budget, but change as you wish.

I would get this, mainly because it includes a psu

+ a case of your choice

EDIT: Included monitor and OS, not sure you need one though, no mention in OP.

My offering:

Comes to £1,417.84 with free shipping.

*edit - that's better*

Daaaveee · 13 Jul 2010 at 16:07

^ How come only 4GB Dual Channel RAM? Also any particular reason to go for a much mroe expensive motherboard than the excellent Asus P6T Deluxe OC Palm Edition?

Redmint · 13 Jul 2010 at 16:07

See my edit.

(Yes the Palm is a nice board too but that Gigabyte offers more graphics card configurations if needed in the future).

Here is my suggestion

Total : £1,491.83 with free delivery

Daaaveee · 13 Jul 2010 at 16:38

Heheh

True enough, I don't think its worth the premium for that personally, P6T will handle dual cards no problem.

What about that mate!? sound good?

Comes to £1505 inc Postage.

Redmint · 13 Jul 2010 at 16:53

Is Win 7 Ultimate really worth the extra?

Camoe · 13 Jul 2010 at 16:54

he has the money to spend. so why not?

Redmint · 13 Jul 2010 at 16:58

'Why not' isn't really an answer.

It's an extra £63 over the Retail Win 7 Home, just wondered what you really get for that money.

stulid · 13 Jul 2010 at 17:07

im more worried about the case and psu, its a bit low spec for 1.5k, its whats normally specced for a £600 pc

R088ieS86 · 13 Jul 2010 at 17:08

It only offers languages and Bitlocker over the professional version.
Win 7 Pro 64bit would be worth while.

Spend the extra on a slightly better case

Redmint · 13 Jul 2010 at 17:09

Indeed, better hardware is more important than a few extra features you'll never use in Windows tbh.

Camoe · 13 Jul 2010 at 17:14

hmm, i chose the case so i didnt have to skimp on hardware more.
