New Gaming System

SubFocus · 11 Sep 2011 at 18:54

Hello all!

I am, tomorrow, looking to order a pre-built gaming system from the fine folk at OcUK.

I only need the system as i have a monitor already and other peripherals. I may throw a new keyboard in there though.

I have a budget of around £1000. I could stretch a little further.

I was thinking of http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-190-OE&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat=

with the GTX 580. Is this a good choice or could i improve on certain parts?

Look forward to your input, thanks!!

Hi Buchanan,

I don't mind, i was just thinking it would be easier to get it delivered all as one. Do you think i could save some money this way or build a better system within the budget? What would you recommend?

Thanks

I think i'll stick with it getting delivered prebuilt as i want it to look lovely and tidy inside and i know i'll make a mess of it

.

Out of the available systems, what would you guys recommend?

How about this, with a GTX580?

A little over budget though.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, regarding the Sandybridge, what would you guys think of the following:

With a GTX 580 and an SSD?

Ok, will do. Can anybody spec me a beast of a system for around £1000?

SubFocus · 12 Sep 2011 at 10:08

Oooo thanks Akita. If i can possible stretch a little further what things would you improve? Say 200 quid?

Will i run into problems using xfire? I do like the idea. Would i be ok changing the case on your spec Akita, i like my fancy LEDS

Hey All,

I've gone Akitas spec, but with the following changes:

Asus GeForce GTX 580 Matrix Platinum 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **Supplied with FREE Batman: Arkham City PC game** - £389.99

Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two (V3) Ultimate Gaming Case (with USB3.0 Support) - Black - £109.99

This should be ok right?

SubFocus · 12 Sep 2011 at 21:53

Excited!

Lol, thanks for your help though Ollie, you rock

Could you check over my final spec and let me know what you think, you seem quite knowledgable

SubFocus · 13 Sep 2011 at 19:23

Akita - that worries me. Is this thing going to blow up my house, killing me and my dog?

SubFocus · 13 Sep 2011 at 19:36

Ahhh i thought you were going to say something like the motherboard won't fit or the GPU

Cheers for your help by the way mate

Reckon i should overclock it once it comes?

SubFocus · 13 Sep 2011 at 19:57

Will do!

Cheers
