Hi (again), some may remember me from about a month ago where I asked you guys to spec me a rig for gaming and a bit of photo editing for £500. Well, it seems my budget has doubled and now I have £1000 to blow on a rig. I would be grateful if you guys could help me decide.

Also, I would really like for the system to be quiet and have a good cooling system.

P.s. this includes NO monitor but DOES include a gaming mouse and keyboard.
 
Think this is a good all round spec with a PSU that leaves you with room for future upgrades:

WOW! That's such a kick ass spec! Thanks man. Just one question, how good is the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler? Because I might OC the cpu so will it keep the processor at a nice temperature do you think?
 
Aye, should be fine. Although I personally would put another fan on the other side of it as well for push/pull.

Don't think OcUK would be doing the deal if there wasn't something sensible about it :)

. i believe 2 5850 massivly outperform 1 6950
.its way underbudget so you can spend the rest on a different case/bigger ssd/ fan controller etc
.plenty of fans to keep it nice and cool
