Hi guys.

I don't know much about computers and new hardware as such.

And I was wondering if you could put some specs up.

1) Just a tower unit(case, psu, motherboard, cpu, ram, harddrive, optical drive, graphics card and maybe a cooler)

2) No O/S is needed.

3) I have a 24" monitor so like to play at 1680X1050

4) Gaming only.

5) Budget is £530

Thanks:)

The use of a B grade motherboard actually makes this an interesting build. crossfire anyone?

And it was a test.
 
Wondered what happened with this :D, i thought hed just gone crazy from answering everyone elses, im basically going to put the same 1 together but with a 6 core because i do allot of multi tasking with video editing and gaming at same time :P

wouldnt an i5 760 be better for gaming? but perhaps not as good for video editing and multi tasking.
 
The i5 760 for me wouldnt be wortht the extra money over a phenom x4, i decided on building a sandybridge pc in the end because ive read they wipe the floor with the 6 core amd :)

Will be building a budget amd build at somepoint just for family use and for spares :P
