Looking to buy a £700 PC

Needs to be able to play blue rays and include a OS.
It will be running on a 22" monitor.

quick update.

The mother board must support crossfire etc.
As any card i get now will be doubled in a few months.

haha you posted while i was writing that, and picked mostly the same stuff.
generally looks good mate, not sure your going to get much better for your budget.

have you considered running windows 7 and saving the os money to put towards another card?

my main concern is the ablity to play HD Movies.

Will the ones above do this?

RJC · 8 Jun 2009 at 20:48

They all do

evil-onion · 8 Jun 2009 at 20:49

yeah it can play it, but what screen do you have?

stokecity_m · 8 Jun 2009 at 20:50

22" - my screen isn't full HD to be fair it's only 1680 x 1050

Hey why do't you get the new asus rampage gene bundle it's niceeeeeeee

evil-onion · 8 Jun 2009 at 20:58

out of the whole build it will be the screen that lets it down... but that can be upgraded at a later date.
sell the one you have and upgrade when money allows
