Hi all
I am looking at a custom deal for myself and I am on a budget.These are the specs

Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel Core i7 processor 950 (3.06Ghz, 8MB L2 cache, 4.8GT/sec)
12GB 1333MHz (6x2GB) DDR3
1TB 7200 Rpm
Crossfire Ati HD 5870 Dx11 x 2
Blue-ray and Dvd/cd combo Drive
With intergraed sound
Intel® X58 mATX Motherboard

With a Hd monitor

Along with usb and tv card.

This is for around £2600

I wonderd if this was a good deal comapred to building simular myself. I am quite new to building computers I have the theory but no exp in building one aside from a quick rebuild of an old computer as well as putting in new drives. So mistakes might be quite likely
Many thanks for anyone's opinon on this matter I really appreacite the help :D

That's all kind of messed up.

i7 920 matches 950 for half price
12GB screws overclocking
No need for xfire 5870 unless you are running at 18million by 12million res
BluRay is pointless
At that price you want an SSD boot + regular storage
Does not include a free blowjob.
 
Why isn't £2600 a budget?

Someone tells you to get a car on a budget of £5000, that's still a budget. Just means there's a limit.

You will be paying for the setup and time if you are looking at that as a pre-built computer.
 
Thanks for everyone's advice on the matter I will probally build it myslef i will probally add in the blu-ray player for watching movies on it and will probally add in a bit more storage as I could see myself filling up 1tb haha. Otherwise I think kenny's suggestion amoung everyone elses sugesstions on he system is right so will probally be going with them parts sometime soon
Cheers
Jacob :D
