1950PRO > 7900GS fyi

Anyway, my spec wins.

I'm quite aware of that :\ Why are you turning this in to an "I'm better than you"?

To be frank your spec doesn't show any real information in this case and all I see is the generic "What would I buy if I could" spec. I understand what you were trying to show but it's just not relevant.

My spec on the other hand shows the price he'd get it for at OcUK.

I don't recall saying that.

And how is it not relevant? The guy has £1800 to spend on a gaming machine and asked us to spec him something "better" than his original suggestion. That's precisely what I did.

See my use of quotation marks, there? That's because I quoted someone. You might want to think about learning that.

It's not relevant in the way that he would be wasting money if he spent a penny over £1000.

:edit: Just saw your edit and you appear to be up your own arse. Bye bye.

So what you are effectively saying is that spending over £1000 on a PC is a waste of money? Utter nonsense.

HE, would be wasting money.

CSS PC != £1500.

A lot, but don't buy mine lol it's totally skewed.

You could spend about £800 and have ridiculously good CSS performance.

What is your budget?

If you're looking at a dell then you obviously don't want to build one so...

You have yourself a much faster system with better kb/mouse/speakers and a far far better screen for the same money.

Alternatively build your own for about £600-700 (base unit) and still beat the Dell with some overclocking.

300+, probably considerably more.

benjo · 28 Mar 2007 at 14:19

Your FPS would probably be constantly over 60fps. But imo, dont try and build a current PC around an older game, try and get something that'll play some newer games aswell. Depends if you actually plan to play any other games that is

Saving people from spending unneccesary money is what speccing is normally about. Anyone can make an expensive spec.

Tommy B · 28 Mar 2007 at 14:22

10^10 fps probably.

More than your monitor could display.

And the mouse has nothing to do with the framerate...

But why ask him how much money he has when he already said? And why recommend a 7900GS when the 1950PRO is better?

Also, just because the guy wants to use CS:S FPS stats as a benchmark, does not neccessarily mean that's all he'll be using the machine for.
