I'm after a pre-built Gaming system

Plimax · 4 May 2014 at 21:45

Hey guys.

I'm after a pre-built Gaming system that will be able to play games like DayZ, Battlefield, Rust, all Massive Multilayer Online Games at very high settings at 1920x1080 res.

Never had a decent gaming PC before which hits around 60+ FPS, would love to be using Intel i5/i7 with GeForce 780.

Budget: £1,000 - £1,200 -> Is this budget okay for an excellent gaming PC?

Cheers

Not quite enough for a 780 pre-built, I don't think. The 290 is just as good, though:

YOUR BASKET
1 x "Titan Katana" Intel Core i5 4670K @ 4.2GHz Overclocked AMD Radeon Gaming PC **Ruby Games Offer** £253
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £43.99
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £67.99

There must be a build with GeForce 780 for a budget of £1,200?

Pretty much the same build, but with a 780:

YOUR BASKET
1 x "Titan Tanto" Intel Core i5 4670K @ 4.2GHz Overclocked Nvidia GeForce Gaming PC £313.00
- 1 x No Sound Card Upgrade £0.00
- 1 x MSI Geforce GTX 780 Gaming Edition OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £419.99
- 1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £43.99
- 1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £67.99
- 1 x TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLYD38G2133HC11ADC01) £59.99
- 1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM £164.99
- 1 x BitFenix Ronin Tower Case - Black £69.95
- 1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £74.99
- 1 x 24 MONTH WARRANTY - COLLECT & RETURN £0.01
- 1 x Standard Build Systems - Dispatched within 7 working days £0.00
Total : £1,229.89 (includes shipping : £12.50).

Because the Titan Katana is on offer this week and the Tanto isn't you'd effectively be paying £140 extra for a 780. Which seems silly when you get the same performance from a 290.

Either would max out the games you mentioned.

You might as well wait for the Z97 boards and Haswell refresh cpu's.

The asus stuff is getting released on the 11th, so i assume the rest will be to. also i know you want a prebuilt system, but you can get more for your money if you build it.
