hey guys, I need a new PC and I've got £700 to spend and I'm hoping to play games such as Crysis and Gears of War and also I use 3D/2D applications to create very high poly imagery. I already have a monitor, keyboard and operating system so I need a tower full of goodies!?
Thanks guys!

Need Speakers?

how late was i :<
 
Both of those specs looks good. :)

Between the two I'd take Edward's (no offense Sinny! :)) To save the 35 quid you could do a few small things. You could drop down to a cheaper case like the 900 (with a cheapo fan), a cheaper CPU cooler like the Thermalright 120 (non-Ultra), and/or get the wicked-fast Seagate 250 GiB hard disk.
 
Total : £697.77
including a dx10 graphics card , 4gb ram for your processing and a quad core in a nice case with a reliable psu.

both are great, you can change the cpu fan for something more along the artic freezer pro lines but the coolermaster is a great psu! equal to the corsair.
