So iv been out of the hardware game for years now. Iv looked around but pretty lost to be honest. I know i7 processors seem to be the way to go, along with a new NVIDEA graphics cards but thats about it.

Seems on all the hardware forums around you get spam and sales talk, and no real answer to your questions. So I decided to come back to my routes (OVERCLOCKERS).... Has been over 7 years since I ordered from here.

I'm going to make this pretty simple. I hope somebody can help.

I have £1000 GBP ($1600 USD) around to spend. I only need a system. No need for monitors ect.

I want dual monitors (already have those).

I want to be able to run EVE-ONLINE.COM (high spec ish game) on one monitor and do work on another. I want a new NVIDEA card that will have no problem running eve including Incarna (latest EVE-ONLINE future UPDATE), and be good for the next year / 18 months at least for this. I would also need the system to run eve and (on the other monitor) at least run photoshop and web surfing/ email / IMs with no problems at all.

Yes, i want to build this system myself. I have, and never will buy a commercial system from somebody like Dell, ect.

Could anyone give me some guidance?
( I am guessing there must be a few EVE players here to)

Would be great! And thanks for the time guys! Good to be back at overclockers!
 

I'd get 8gb of RAM if you're gonna be using several programs at once. Also EVE doesnt have massively high requirements so downgrade to gpu to a 480/560ti/570 or 6950, 580 is massively overkill and a waste of money for OP's needs.And definitely get an SSD for the OS too.

560ti SOC - £220

OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB - £100

8GB corsair RAM - £80

Will Windows 7 be needed?
