(Please) Check my spec: £1000 gaming PC

molinari · 2 Jan 2008 at 12:10

I'm about to get myself a new PC and hope that you can have a quick look at what I've chosen and give me any advice on improving it without adding too much to the cost. It will be mainly used for games and music. I dont' need a monitor/keyboard/mouse at the moment and I already have an Antec 550W PSU that I'll use (unless someone suggests otherwise).

Anyway, here it is...

Nice spec, close to mine so would be interested to hear the feedback

You going for that CPU cooler then? i'm still stuck on which to get exactly :S

Nice spec, what size monitor and what res will you be running?

At the moment I've got a 19" ViewSonic but will hopefully be getting a new 22" in a couple of months.

The only reason I've chosen that CPU cooler is because I've seen other people recommend it. Not sure if it's the best one, but I hope it will be good enough for the job.

Looks good. There are some B grade EVGA 8800 GTXs @ 210 if you like. Otherwise spec looks fine.
