First Gaming PC

Novus · 15 Aug 2010 at 17:12

I am going to get my first gmaing pc off the "Titan" series; I will be using it for storing and editing my photography aswell as gaming. The games I will be playing are ARMA II, ARMA II :OA and a number of RTS's. I'm thinking of getting the "Titan Exodus" with a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5850 1GB, I already have Win 7 Home Premium.

Could you please give any help and If you have the system, tell me how it is. Thanks

Looks good man. I have pretty much the same system. If you're building it for arma 2 though, I'd say a SSD is a must. Arma 2 is pretty tough on the hard disk, because it's got so many textures to load.

I don't have one at the moment, and it's a definite bottle neck on games with massive maps like gta4 and arma2.

Very good system, Intel i5 one of the best CPU's out there right now.

Get yourself the ssd upgrade, it will futureproof the system just a little bit more.

loooks good i have an i5 and the cooler thats in that build overlcloked to 4.00ghz and temps ALWAYS stay under 50 degrees on most games graphics card is a good choice (5850) what resolution moniter are you going to be using?

Why not get the 470?
Its like £5 cheaper and I am pretty sure its better than the 5850.

The trouble is that putting a SSD drive on it breaks my budget by a bit. Are there any discounts at the moment?

with the 470 dropping in price I'd have to agree, it is a superior purchase over the 5850
