£2000 build

Chainsaw · 22 Dec 2014 at 10:53

Hi all,

I'm going to be buying a new gaming machine over the next few days to treat myself for Christmas.

I'm going to be honest, I really would like it to be prebuilt which I know limits my options.

I already have monitors, k&m, speakers and a soundcard. I also have a 512SSD but wouldn't mind a second one.

I'm looking at hopefully getting dual 970's? I would like to spend up to £2000.

Any links to a prebuilt you would recommend would be great.

Kind Regards,

Chainsaw

Thank you both very much!

stulid · 22 Dec 2014 at 15:18

That spec from Lee is tasty, the Sniper has great onboard sound from Creative.

Chainsaw · 22 Dec 2014 at 15:22

I've got a Soundblaster ready to install on the new machine - which would go for if onboard sound wasn't needed?

Many thanks

stulid · 22 Dec 2014 at 15:24

What soundblaster? theres been many.

Chainsaw · 22 Dec 2014 at 15:25

Sorry - Soundblaster Z

stulid · 22 Dec 2014 at 15:27

Ah, great card.

Well neither build is "wrong" or "better" I suppose, take Lees and substitute the CPU+Sniper board for - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-005-GI&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=2858
