Gaming Spec for £600

Dalez · 25 Dec 2011 at 17:48

I currently have £600 to spend and need a new gaming rig.

I currently have a Q6600, 4gb, 550Ti rig, and gaming and rendering videos (for Youtube) on it is kinda getting slow! I just need the tower, I have a monitor, mouse and keyboard and speakers.

I currently have a 1TB hard drive in here, and I can move it over to the new computer when I'm done. (I will want to add another 1TB HDD later).

I would love an i5 and the best graphics card I can get. I will also be wanting the 5% deal off!

Thankyou

Graphics cards are due to come down in price soon (Jan I think) when the series 7 comes out, so may wont to hold off to get more for your dough

I'd rather have the 5% off

And I like this spec. It seems really good. Will this be able to handle rendering videos and playing games?

Also, will the case fit everything? (Just read the reviews and people say it doesn't fit certain graphics cards)

All ends up being £585.1.

Good deal then? Also, does everything fit together and work?

with the vouchercode OCUKXMAS you get free delivery and 5% off the order so £40-£45 off the the price. overbudget but the 2gb vram on the grahics card is better for bf3 etc and the psu will allow for sli in the future.
