+1 to this build
as i said on my post i have the 2500k and a 6950 and runs bvf3 on max fine at about 50fps average. my cpu is overclocked to 4.2 but i havnt touched the gpu so that is stock so build above should be fine

Stevo_1990 said:

Thanks a lot guys, I think I might go for this build but I might try and throw in an OS if I can afford it, Hopefully will be able to order on sunday

Do you guys know how long roughly overclockers take to deliver? I live in Scotland.

Again thanks to you idleman for taking time to help me even when Im an annoying noob

Idleman said:

Not sure about delivery, although some get next-day delivery. Just ask OCUK, when you are ready to order.

Asking the right questions to ensure you get what you want, is`nt annoying.

Anyway, good luck with your new build and don`t` forget to post piccies.

Forgot to mention, make sure you claim the £20 cashback before the end of the this month.

Hi guys, I recently asked you all for advice on a pre-built pc and you all told me I should build my own, I was going to but then i started to worry, I would rather have a pre-built and learn from it before I attempt to build my own in the future.

I wanted your advice on this pc http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-213-OE I would be upgrading to the 7850 2 gig graphics card and wanted to know if the pc would play guild wars 2 and battlefield on max settings.

I look forward to hearing from you all and please dont kill me for not building my own
