Help with Pre built system

Jup · 26 May 2010 at 15:31

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I am looking to buy a pre built system from Overclockers as i am not over confident and putting a system together myself. The system will be mainly used for gaming, I will need win7 and want the system to do me 2-3 years. I have a budget of £900, here is what I have been looking at so far.

"Titan Xenomorph" Intel Core i3 530 2.93GHz @ 4.00GHz Dual Core DDR3 AVP Edition System with win7 and upgarded gfx card to ati 5850. £834.97 inc VAT

"Titan Exodus" Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz @ 4.00GHz Quad Core DDR3 System with win7 and ati 5770 gfx card. £869.97 inc VAT

"Titan Prism" AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1090T Black Edition 3.20GHz @ 4.00GHz DDR3 System with win7 and ati 5770 gfx card £914.97 inc VAT. I would have liked to see an AMD system with the Phenom II X4 Quad Cores as I don't think i'd need the six on this system, but there does not seem to be an option.

Anyone who could offer some advice or reccomendations on the above systems or any I may have over looked, I would be grateful to hear what you think.

Many thanks for reading

You have only posted the CPU and the GFX card that you will get with those systems,
what about the RAM and HDD Space and stuff like that.

I would suggest posting the full system specs and then let us tell you what we think about the systems then.

i think i would go for the i5, and perhaps upgrade the gpu to something like a 5830, theres roughly £50 difference between them, if u go for the XFX 5850, so it'll be a simlar price to the AMD.

if the systems dont have the options you want, u can always ring up sales and they should be able to change around the system to your liking.

as you main priority will be gaming, then u really dont need 6 cores, as it wont be of any real benefit in games

i5 exodus pre build rig for my money....if you could squeeze a few more quid and get a 5850 card then that's you for 2 years without an upgrade needed

Well I am a gamer as well and use my Pc to play lots of different games.

If I had the money i would be going for the "Titan Exodus System Specification"

I would maybe try and upgrade the Gfx card to a 5850 though if i could afford it,
that way you are set for a while then and no need for upgrades.

Let use know what you choose.
