£820 to spend on new PC!

DannyStokie · 29 Jun 2009 at 23:18

I'm looking to buy a new PC but not sure what to do.

Should I wait for the new Dx11 cards, i5 etc..

I would like some help to spec a PC if thats possible, cheers.

i think when dx11 comes out, most games will be using Dx10, and only the crysis-esque games will use the features of dx11.
so i'd personally just go for a decent dx10 card for this purchase, as they should be more up for the job, and dx11 hardware will likely cost a bomb for the first few months

that's great buddy cheers, would it be ok to run windows 7 RC on this?

stokecity_m · 29 Jun 2009 at 23:41

I brought this a few days ago - couldn't be happier.

Would recommend something along the same way.
remove the mouse/mat/ata cable

edit - runs windows 7 7100 on it fine.
