hey all, as the title says i need assistance with a spec that i have the overall sum hopefully (with the appropriate ammount of saving).
so here it goes, i need a Full Computer spec, for gaming/watching occasional movies.
i knoe £580 is not a decent ammount for a gaming pc.
i DONT need:
-Mouse Mat
-Headset

BUT, i will need:
-everything for the gaming pc itself. eg/cpu,gpu,mobo,ram,optical drive/HD etc.
- keyboard and mouse (already suggested the OcUK keyboard and MX518)
-AND an Operating System (Preferably win7 64bit

thanks guys.
got ss of ideas, please say if you want to see.

For a complete PC including a monitor and operating system for that money, you can't go far wrong with this.

Benchmarks for the GPU, if you're interested.

It is a dual core processor with hyperthreading.

That means it has two physical cores, and another two that are just logical. So in essence it is just a dual core with a nice speed bump

That's a pretty nice computer for the money
