Need help with a spec

[_Simon_]

Hi, sorry to be yet another noob asking for a spec, but basically that's what I am. I want a good gaming rig. My budget is not incredibly fixed, probably looking to spend £1,000 - £1,500.

Most of my gaming time is spent in WoW, and my four year old Dell is struggling severely.

I have a dell 24" widescreen monitor, so don't need that, but need everything else.

Any thoughts?

Welcome to the forums.

Will you be transferring anything other than your monitor to the new rig?

Let me know, and I'll get straight onto a spec for you - should be able to get a sweet machine for £1.5K, considering you don't need the monitor.

Nah, only moving the monitor over.

Thanks for coming up with a spec so quickly!

So the graphics card is out of stock, and no idea when it will be in. I am keen to get this asap, and OcUK have suggested the X1900 XT-X as a replacement. Any issues with this or should I go for it?

Only thing I can think of is that the MoBo is a SLI one, and the X1900 XT-X would be XFire rather than SLI, if I decided to go that route. Not even sure that this is an issue though.

Help!
