£700 base unit build for gaming

[Whoop]

Hey all,

I'm not really feeling this spec at all but I've been tweaking one a mate did on a competitor site to get the bits from a decent shop for him

His aim is to get another HD 6870 for chrimbo and crossfire it so the graphics are quite weak. Can anyone tweak this around so it stays in the £700 budget and has a bit more oomph for Bf3?

He doesn't fancy overclocking just yet either so I left the retail cooler in there.

Ta muchly.

Here you go, re-done the spec

Did you need an optical drive?

Hmmm I'll go with nope for the meantime, I built his last system about 3 years ago and optical drives didn't move along too much since then (totally forgot the psu though, I'm used to thrashing mine).

I hoped you'd appear, a spec thread isn't done till you've posted in it.

Looks like a good choice to me, I'll go with that when he shows up with the cash tonight.


Thanks all.

If he has a DVD drive and its SATA and not IDE? then your ok.

Its a lot of effort to go round and check

There is £20 delivery charge on your spec I can knock out anyway to add a sata dvd-writer.

Well reminded though, I wouldn't have.
