Hey guys, hope you're all ok. I'm new here, directed here by a friend as you seem to have a reputation as the most friendliest and helpful bunch around, so congrats!

So, sorry to be cheeky but I need some help. Love the Overclockers site so I'm keen to buy off here.

I'm looking for a PC gaming setup. I'm new to it after console gaming all my life. The benchmark I'm looking for is to play Battlefield, for example, on high settings, ultra doesn't worry me too much.

My budget is around £1,200, although lower if possible would be preferable.

I really really really don't want to build my own, 100% not, and I know most of you will recommend it and back how easy it is, but its definitely not for me, sorry.

So I was looking to configure one from here to my requirements and get the great guys at Overclockers to build it and send it :-).

I will need a monitor too, as I'm going to sell my old 32" Bravia TV. But I was hoping my new screen could include a coaxial port, as this is the only way for me to get a TV reception, digital or otherwise in my attic at home. Although I'm not sure this is possible. But any recommendations will be welcomed for sure.

Thanks in advance for anyones help, I will be sticking around here for sure, hopefully in the future to help others.

Cheers guys, Liam.
 
thats a ok set up but no way to watch TV, needs a mon with speakers and a free veiw box or tv tuner card in pc, and or external speakers.

also what about a keybord and mouse?
 
Could your friend not help you build the computer. The money you will save is incredible!

You won't find a monitor with freeview built in, You could always use the TV as a monitor? Or you definitely getting rid of the TV?

If its not too late, id keep your TV would be a lot easier. I run my pc through my tv. Wouldn't have it any other way.

That i7 lighning looks amazing. :)

But that prebuild isn't the i7K :( A waste really when the mobo is a Z77. Shame he is 100% against doing his own custom build. I'm not familiar with the prebuilds as I'd never opt for one. Although if he wanted to use the TV as a panel then maybe the Bitfenix Prodigy prebuilds would be worth a nosey too?
 
Thank you very much for your help so far guys.

I mean, I could keep my Bravia, its still in very good condition.

Not sure how gaming up close with a 32" would do for my head haha, but I suppose its the sensible option to keep my freeview.

With it being (about) 5 years old, do you think it'll be able to run the best games at decent FPS?

Its done me very well with the Xbox360 in years gone by.

I didn't notice it wasn't the K, was just to excited about the 670. :)
 
£1000 can net you a pretty decent base unit.

How about this:

Just remember OcUK can build this but I can't remember how much they charge. It will come with the same warranty as their prebuilds.

I also agree with the above, if you do decide your current TV needs to go, you could pick up a Samsung SyncMaster (something) 23" which has built in freeview. My parents own one and it looks great when connected up to my pc :)
