Gaming rig £800

perpy · 13 Dec 2009 at 22:02

Hey guys after taking some advice and with the help of a friend i am
considering making my own computer, with it i will need a monitor, speakers and
optional wireless adapter. It will be mainly used for gaming (specifically
multiplayer games such as cod, l4d 2 and WoW) and my budget is about
£800-900 but i can stretch further if the upgrade of an item etc will be worth the extra money.
So can you guys please spec me a computer as i am an amateur!!!
thanks a lot guys.

Whats point spending that much money to game on a 20" monitor.

You want a bargain monitor google LG W2242S 22" and can be had for £121 at certain site.

Very good monitor i have it!

It's a good monitor as long as you can live with the VGA only input on it.

I'd expect he'd get a card with DVI or HDMI connections and want to make the most of those.

Shame http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-071-VS is out of stock

BenQ G2220HD 22 Inch are also good and can be found for less than £130 elsewhere.

Advantage to staying at the 1680x1050 means you can get away with upgrades on your gpu for a little longer..

Yes but go 22"

Gaming on a 20" monitor is pointless. Fair enough you got a old system, but a new one.

22"-24" place to be at, it's big enough to appreciate the graphics and enjoy the game play.

Aha, I see, in which case agreed. I have a 21.5" monitor
