£1700 Set-up (including monitor/ keyboard/ etc.) What would you get?

[Moleo]

Trying to find out what kind of combinations to go for, and what good value peripherals there are out there, figured you'd be the best people to ask?
Thanks in advance.

Do need/want Windows 7 included in the spec ?

I'd probably stab someone in the head for £1700 to spend on a setup.

Jelly.

 

[Guitarman0]

If you really want to spend all £1700 here is a more than future proof spec

 

[Rofflay]

£1700 on a gaming rig? first thing first is a proper monitor, no TN garbage as no matter how high u crank the GFX is will look crap imo ive tried lots and anything below s-ips is a waste.you need to budget £500 here and £1200 for the base.

Dell "24 IPS £500
2500k pre overclocked bundle from ocuk £450
GTX 570 £270
haf 912 plus £70
corsair ax850w £155
WD caviar black HDD(SSD later) £55

the main thing is sourcing a dell "24 for £500 and u can get a brilliant base and saitek keyboard for £1200.upgrade to an SSD at a later date when prices improve and u have a fantastic PSU to upgrade to whatever ATI/NVIDIA throw out next year!
