hey =) i am new to the foums and could really use some help with getting a new gaming pc.
i have built PCs in the past but it has been about 3 years since i built my current system and it's really getting old now =P
i can't come to a decision between buying one of the OcUK pre built systems or building my own.
from looking at these forums it seems for gaming most people say to get an i5 if going for intel, the two systems i am looking at are the Ultimate Viper or the Titan Exodus with the GTX470 as my card of choice.
from looking at the price of the indavidual components there doesn't seem to be a huge price difference between building them myself or just buying the pre built.
i just can't make a decision between pre built or self build or between the i5 or i7 =/ could really use some other peoples opinions on this.
also if i did go for a pre build from overclockers would i be able to make changes to the internals? such as adding graphics cards, ram or drives =) i know with some pre builds in other places you void your warranty just by opening the case
thanks a lot in advance ^^
