Evening all. Put off doing this in summer, but now that UT3/ET:QW and the like are hitting I need to get myself a system capable of playing them. Budget is £1,000 but I need everything for that amount (bar speakers). I would quite like to get a Q6600 and an 8800 in there and a fair monitor, but not sure what else to stick in (e.g. 2gb RAM or 4?) and what combination of other parts to get.

Thanks!

well that worked well :p
 
Haha, I appreciate the effort! The posted spec looks fair, but I've heard the best bang/back is to be had with a slightly lesser 8800, which would also stick closer to the £1k budget. Further input welcome!
