£1400-1500 Budget

[MrAlex]

Please post the best build you can
Note: Please try and keep it to an ATI card. Thanks

 

[Ben M]

Do you need an OS?
Do you need monitor(s) and a mouse and keyboard?
what will it be used for?

 

[MrAlex]

Yes, need EVERYTHING.
No, Don't need OS.
Used for Gaming.

 

[spitzoid]

Slightly over but meh....

EDIT: I don't know much about Socket 775 set-ups but imagine you could have a monster rig with that kind of money, and would be great for gaming. I just like i7 builds.

£50 over budget but with a very nice monitor. You could drop the monitor down to a cheaper model and get a 4870X2, to bring you back into budget if you want. Depends if you want the better monitor or better fps.

 

[Ben M]

personally I' drop one of the F1 drives and instead have two of these:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-118-WD
in a RAID 0 setup for your OS and programmes

I'd change the case to:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-157-CM
because antec gaming cases are really tacky imo

Do you need a bluray drive?

You could change the motherboard to:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-332-AS
and save £60, you probably won't get a much lower overclock at all.

Get a bigger monitor with a full 1920X1200 resolution, like this:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-099-SA

Get the asus 4890, because it's volt modded and so will overclock more:

Thanks Guys.
I'll just wait and do a bit of mix-n-match.
