[JishJashJosh]

Hello, can you spec me a PC. I need everything apart from the keyboard, mouse and OS. So basically the the base unit and a monitor. The PC will be used for gaming and the budget is about £750.

Thanks.

Thanks, i was just wondering if i swap out the monitor in hybrids build for the
OcUK V-Line 221V2SB 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black
that is currently £89.99, which brings the basket to £701.59, would the extra £50 get anything else be upgraded? I wasn't sure if it would be worth it, so i thought i would ask.

How about this :

Think that works.

 

[Surveyor]

Spend the extra £8 and get this:

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM


And spend the extra £5 on a retail 2500K for the 3 year warranty instead of 1 year on the OEM.

The sum of what that extra £50 could get you is a nicer case (nice enough but no performance increase and it's just going to be sitting on/under your desk), an upgrade to 8GB of RAM (zero performance increase for gaming), a small increase in graphics performance by stepping up to a 5870, or a higher wattage PSU (not necessary).

You're far better off with a higher quality screen, that will result in less dead pixels and better colour production. I don't know a lot about monitors, but Samsung are a trusted manufacturer with a lot of good screens.
