thats a good budget to work with , firstly what sort of games do you intend on playing and at what resolution ?

J and j · 20 Jun 2014 at 10:45

I play a lot of different games really mainly LoL & Minecraft but do play COD, CS GO, CS, Dayz, WoW, Elder Scrolls, Various racing games, bunch of other stuff on steam too.

Maybe £800 might be too much :confused:

I certainly dont mind if it comes in under budget

Also the missus will probably want to play sims 4.

It is cheaper than the BenQ but I notice it says it has slower response time so Im not sure how good it is.

That 280(non-x) deal is VERY nice.
