Right, to summarise:
I have been laptop based for around 3 years now. I currently use a Rock XtremeCTX Pro with Geforce Go 7950 GTX & 2.0 GHz Core 2 CPU.
After moving last year, I now have a dedicated office for a computer again, so I want a desktop set up.
I looking for suggestions for the best value for money around £1000.00 exc VAT (£1175.00 inc VAT) for the computer on it's own, plus a 24" screen possibly (or smaller if that is likely to be better - suggestions please).
I have been looking at the OcUK pre built units, I used to build my own units but I cant be bothered with it now. I will likely buy a unit from OcUK with Vista pre-installed.
Which version of Vista is the best to go for? I assume I will end up with a quad core CPU.
BTW, I play COD4 mainly, but will invest in some of the future titles like Far Cry 2 etc. I really want a good value unit that I can change the graphics card on at a later date. Again I dont know when the new range of cards are going to be released, if it is soon then I dont want to throw a load of money at a high spec ard now as I will buy the new release when it is available.
Anyway, bit of a ramble, but any suggestions gratefully recieved.
