Decent Prebuilt Desktop For Gaming?

culvers · 19 Jul 2011 at 13:28

Hi guys

Just looking for some opinions about decent pre built gaming desktops. I dont want to build my own, although I am aware that its the best way to do it, so I am happy to pay more for a prebuilt system.

I am looking for something that will be powerful enough to play future games releases (diablo 3, skyrim, battlefield 3, dark millenium online if it ever comes out, SWTOR etc) on decent settings, although not necessarily maxed out (I'm not made of money)

Prefer not to spend over £1k.. Are there any prebuilt desktops around that can pull this off? (either on overclockers or elsewhere)

Cheers

There are two pre-built systems worth looking at,

With the right choice of parts, such as a GTX570/6950 and if you need an OS too then they come to about what you want to spend.

thanks, do you think its worth stretching a bit more for the 6970? or do you think the money would be better spent getting an i7 processor?

the 2500K will be more than good enough processor wise.
