Help me spec a new build please.

[Samueltastic]

Hey,

I'm looking to make my first rig at the end of the month. My budget will be about £850 and will be 90% gaming and browsing the net but I would also like to be able to play Blue-ray if possible?

Ive been looking at an i5 with a 5850? im not sure about overclocking.

It will just be the base unit no monitor or mouse etc but i will need an operating system.

will i be able to duel monitor as i have a 32inch which if possible use for the blue ray but also a 26inch as a monitor?

Any help greatly appreciated
Cheers, Sam

Thanks for the replys

Ive put this together (mostly from above) . Thought twice about the blue ray and decided against it at the moment.


How does this look?



Total £855

I put the larger PSU in as i thought about going cross fire in the next couple months. Would this case be large enough? will it also be worth it?

Any other issues i may have?


Thanks, Sam

Spec looks good, I think you should be ok with the Antec 300.
