Pre built system for gaming

[gazza1235]

Hi all, hope you are well.

I am looking to upgrade my system as I bought my current one three years ago from this very site and never had any problems at all but alas it is time for an upgrade. I really just want a pre built machine as I am lazy.

I want the machine for a specific game in all honesty. The game is Monster Hunter Online as it was announced to being released here in the west. FINALLY!

Anyway, the game uses the same engine that crysis three is using and I know that that game can be very demanding so basically I am looking for a system that can run Crysis three and MHO with ease.

I would like to use OCUK again as I think the systems they provide are fantastic and they offer an unmatched service. So the system I was aiming for was this:

That would runt he game perfectly but I was wondering if I am shooting way to high for this or is this the sort of system I really should be buying.

Thanks for all the help.

Hi thank you so much for all the help everyone has provided.

You could actually build one cheaper than that. So, if you bought a system 3 years ago, that means hdd, dwd/rw, Psu(probably) and OS can be reused. Maybe, even the case.

My HDD is actually already been reused from my old system before this one and I know it's on it's last legs, It's making the ticking clock sound

CD drive is however okay and the PSU is really good but I don't think it has the correct watt I would need to run a serious gaming rig. I only have a 500 Watt just now.

My current setup is:

Core i3 OC to 4.00GHz
4 GB Ram
500 GB HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Gainward GeForce® GTX 460 2GB
500 Watt Corsair PSU

The case I wouldn't really recommend at all if I am honest. it is my old HP pavilion case and it is rather small so I know my system is probably already struggling for air flow.

I really just want/need a fresh new computer and one hell of a good one to boot. I plan to play some quite high end games with arma 3 on release soon and battlefield 4 alpha starting soon and my favourite game ever Monster Hunter being released too, I want one that will be future proof for these games without the effort of building another one.

Torn a bit between these ones now:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-341-OE&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2489

and the ultima scarab system.

If anyone can recommend any of these and what options would be best suited to match these games then that would be fantastic.

My PSU is around 3 years old. But i'm just not sure it has the proper get up and go for a proper gaming system. I built my last machine to run WoW and that was it but I want to play better games now.

My budget would probably be around 1.3K stretching to 1.4. I can build the system myself but would rather just buy it this time around. OCUK provides an unmatched service from previous experiences so really want to use them again.

If you can, hold off until next month, I think Haswell's launching on the 4th, I assume OCUK will spec some new systems there abouts. Current ones seem all over the place in price/performance both AMD and Intel wise.

Yeah I am in no rush at all. My current system is working fine just I need/want the upgrade. I will have a look into the haswell system though and see what happens.

Thanks for the help
