£700 - gaming rig.

[Simmz]

Can anyone spec me a system for my mate for around the 700 mark. Doesn't matter if its slightly over.

Doesn't need monitor, keyboard, mouse or windows etc, just the base unit.

Can either be just the parts as will build himself or a pre-built system.


Thanks a lot.

Go check my thread a couple below ( waiting for improvement suggestions) You could swap out the 5850 for something newer if you wanted Or go for a cheaper case and psu then bump up the GPU.

Under £700 if you use free shipping.

Edit: I forgot a PSU.

Hi there,

How does this look?

If he want to run crossfire in future then I would go with this PSU and this motherboard instead (the motherboard is currently in a promotion - so you get 20% cashback).

With the 6950 you can try and unlock it to be a 6970 - the success rate seems to be very high. More details here.

Cheers for responses.
