BUILD FOR £1000 - Recommendations Please

monster_munch · 17 Dec 2012 at 16:38

Hello all,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Help please

I always go for a PC build from Overclockers and I am overdue one. The last few you guys have recommended have been good so here goes.

I need a whole PC! with SSD.

I will be using this PC just for gaming. I want to get something decent.

I want to spend around £900-1000. But happy to pay a little more / less for quality / to get better technology. if I can spend less for not much performance loss happy to do that too

Please advise so that I can pick a good build

Thanks.

DO NOT NEED K+M, monitor, OS

I ordered the Titan 8900i Plasma MK II just last week and delivered today.

Seemed like a good package to me for the money. Mainly for gaming myself too.

So what components do have that you can reuse?
Do you also require OS, monitor, k&m, etc,?

Is sli/xfire something you might want to do in the future or is a single Gpu setup sufficient?

I plan on using a single GFX pretty much. So want to make sure it packs enough firepower!
