Hi All,
First time poster long time lurker:D
Curious to know your expert thoughts on the system below. I have a budget of £500 and this was the best i could do. Its mainly for gaming, however im not to sure how games such as Crysis will run???

I MAY be able to squeeze another £100 into the budget, so wondered A) how the spec looks?
and B) where the extra £100 should go.

I have to have the case, been after it for a while:)

Thanks Chaps

Nick

Thanks for the reply RJC, think i will go for that :)

Cookeh thats a good call, can you suggest a case that will allow me to invest the difference into the build?

Thanks
 
I've seen sandy bridge systems specced within your budget if you get a cheaper case. Those chips seem to be king for everything application right now?
 
How's this? An additional £10 would net you a better case - such as the Antec 100

I'm not sure when the board is coming in stock, but it's great for the price and has a massive amount of features that wouldn't normally be expected for the price range :)
 
Cookeh,
That looks great.
So do you feel that spec would handle the likes of Crysis better?

Thanks for taking the time to spec me a system, your a star:)
