Can anyone give me a decent gaming build?

jonsport888 · 26 Nov 2011 at 19:56

I Have all ready purchased a graphics card from overclockers which is the 6950 sapphire toxic edition

and i really need to get a decent build to go with, my budgets around £800 for a build without a graphics card. monitor,keyboard etc (does need an operating system). i had a look at some of the overclocked bundles but couldn't get my head round it :S So with christmas round the corner time running out, can you list the different parts and how much on average they cost, as im going to get a local business to put the parts together for £40.
Many thanks for any help you can give me, have a good day

!

Would you like the option of Crossfire with this build?

Do you have any SATA drives to use?

jonsport888 · 26 Nov 2011 at 19:59

I probally would like to be able to crossfire in the future and unfortunately don't have any SATA drives, athough i heard the prices are going up quick due to the flooding in Thailand :S

And may take about 6 months to get down again from reading around.

You will leant so much by building your own PC, Its not as hard as most people think, if you get stuck you can always follow the manual that comes with the different parts.

• Gen3 motherboard with DualBIOS (useful)
• Very fast SSD and a fast HDD
• PSU is plenty for Crossfire and made by Seasonci,

Yeah, that's crazy. Especially with forums like this in existence. Build it yourself.

nothing to see here, no one seems to care anyway, stick to the 'master of the universes' spec.

why its the same as yours bar the cooler and missing the ssd, plus different option on the mb.

It is, plus you included a GFX car the OP doesn't need, perhaps stop thread crapping?
