Buying a new computer (pre built)

I think around th 800-900 mark. Which maching on OC is gonna get me thebest bang for my buck? Im gonna be gaming primarily so would prob prefer a dual core over a quad? Dont need a monitor or OS.

GOna order it 2moro with that discount code!

Hmmm probably the Vortex although that has a quadcore...Wolfdale looks pretty good to and is is dual core .

Lister2020 · 16 Oct 2008 at 23:49

which machines exactly are you talkin bout, a regular gamin one? an overclocked one? theres a cpl of models with same processors etc

Lister2020 · 17 Oct 2008 at 00:45

do any of them come with the new ati cards instead of nvidia? the likes of the 4850 are supposed to be amazing arent they?

Personally I prefer the 300. Its functional and clean. To me the 900 looks ridiculous like a chav with neon lights under their car. Up to you though. 300 is a brilliant case. Excellent cooling.

Lister2020 · 17 Oct 2008 at 01:04

ok i will stick with the 300 case then. I double checked and I dont think you can even build the machine with them componentsfor that price!!!

606 for a beast of machine. great. ill get another hdd later on for it. quick question if i was to get another 4850 that was an upgraded model would they work in sync or must they be the exact same model?

its called cross fire and you just need a 4850 i think, try to get the same clock speed. Not 100% sure but im pertty sure that who it works. I would also recommend the below PC, you can get Vista home 64bit, 4gb of ram and a 4850x2 for £912 which is just abit over your budget and you would have to wait for crossfire

Hope it helps

Lister2020 · 17 Oct 2008 at 10:22
