You can't go far wrong with the prebuilt varkanoid linked if you've got 1750 to spend - are you going to be building it yourself? You might save a bit this way and 680 maybe overkill for your monitor size?
 
well if i could get more for money with building it myself got someone who will build it. My monitor is BenQ xl2410t so shouldn't be a problem what do you suggest, thanks.

nice spec stulid, pretty much what I would have gone for, I'd just omit just a couple of things which are "luxuries" i.e. the AX modular sleeved cables £50! and the Intel 520 SSD - maybe a samsung 830 or Crucial m4 instead - to save about £150 in total

I agree with you,

Otherwise the spec is Bang on.
 
nice thanks for replies is there much in gtx670/gtx680 just wondering in that prebuilt you showed me it has 680 also with the SSD does the samsung 830/curcial m4 the better product. I'll definately get the cables like my PC flashy xD

appreciate help
 
thanks good information one more question is it better to have both SDD and HDD or will SDD suffice? and is it similar with i5/i7 processors ie. you paying preimuim for slight better products?
 
Have both a SSD and the HDD, the SSD is for the OS and as many games as you can fit on it, the HDD will be for storage etc.

For purely gaming, a i5 3570K is all you need, the extra main feature of the i7 3770K (Hyperthreading) is mostly wasted.

You do have a suitable 64bit OS for the 8GB of RAM?

P.S, changed down to 8GB of RAM as thats plenty for gaming, if you want 16GB then of course, change it back.

P.S, you get £20 cashback on the SSD.

ye I'm just going to get the 16GB nice idea though thanks ye noticed £20 cashback good buy I'm guessing notebook/apple will still work with windows 7 or would I have to go for different SSD
 
It will work fine.

The actual SSD drive is the same between it and the desktop version, yet is nearly £20 less.

The included accessories is all thats different.
