Hello,
After various questions etc on here, im now looking at a fully custom PC which id like to be built for me, preferably OCUK. Anyway, yes ive seen their pre-built system and used the configurator, but it dosent seem to have the absolute best bits... so what I want and need to do is get an actual price for a full system inc. monitor so when im away I can compare the laptop/desktop in spec and price and finally decide what way to place my hat.
Anyway let me name some of the components id definately want in there:
i7 CPU - now I see the 990X is the most expensive (and thats what the laptop will have) however I want the thing OC'd so if that Sandybridge thing is better, please use that.
RAM - 8gb of the fastest and OC'able stuff. (If 16GB is better use that, but again I want the thing clocked to run at max)
GPU - 2 X 580s in SLI - i dont know which make is better, but again the fastest and most OC'able pair.
27" Monitor, best for gaming in quality and response.
HDD - 240Gb SSD as a primary drive, again fastest and best. 2nd to be the fastest non SSD storage drive, 500Gb or more.
Sound - Best sound card for use with headphones and gaming.
Other stuff I havent a clue what fits with what, so go crazy on case, mobo, cooler, a DVDRW is fine not interested in blu ray films, PSU, id like a memory card reader included if possible,wifi, wired keyboard, gaming mouse (wired), best gaming headset... err think thats it. Oh and a cpoy of Windows 7, the one that can read all the RAM correctly.
Apologies i cant be over specific and that im asking for help on this, I have put things in a basket to get an idea, but I never know what card works with what mobo and what allows overclocking etc, which cooling I need ... so cap in hand, i come for help.
Budget - lets say £4000 inc vat, built, OC'd and delivered (i know you cant quote for the build part, but leave some spare of the 4k for that)
