Payday is upon us!

Evening all!

So, payday is finally upon me.

I would like some advice on a new system.

I have been looking at the pre-builts on the site and i'm quite tempted by the look of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-176-OE

Looking at putting the 6970 2GB in there and possibly changing the RAM to something like a 6GB or 8GB set up just for future peace of mind.

Just wondering what you guys thought about this and if there are any suggestions you may have?

Cheers!

What are the uses?

Would you be confident building yourself? You could get a better rig for the same money!

Main uses are going to be long hours of gaming.

I'd say that i'd love to build my own system if i can get a better set up for the money!

And your total budget?

4GB of RAM will be more than enough for gaming!

Will you need an new OS?

Total budget is £1000-£1200

New OS is required yup!

Well the system you wanted is pretty good plus with an OS and shippingit should come to about £1100 if you really want to spend the £100 then I suggest upgrading to a GTX 580.

Good system mate. Plenty of room for upgrading...

I was looking at that recently

Thanks for the advice all! Any suggestions on the RAM upgrade, what would be the best and more future proof I could change in this build?
