Hi I'm looking at getting a ready made system from overclockers and already send an email to them. What I'm after is some advice from anyone who's gone down this route and how their rig turned out and was there any hic-up anywhere.thanks for your time

about £1500 this is the option from overclockers

thanks for your replies,yes I was just reading that thread,much prefer the single card.have windows 7 64 which I believe you can install on more than one computer ? so if I spent the full wack £1500-1600 whats the best I can get.

no just for gaming (battlefield 4)

larryddd · 5 Sep 2013 at 11:27

Thanks for your time Idleman much appreciated

larryddd · 5 Sep 2013 at 11:33

now all I've got to decide is build myself or not,I did build one about 5 years ago, really enjoyed it. but that was five years ago. just on a side note I take it all these parts will work together.thanks

one thing is it best to go for a sound card or just go for the on-board,any recommendation

Thanks for all the advice there's some great rigs there.overclockers have given me a quote,didn't think about doing a basket and getting overclockers to build it, not sure how much cheaper it would be than the pre made. yes my budjet is about £1500-1600.money is coming through in a couple of weeks so its all go.need to watch some pc building video's on utube if I go that way.

Is white your favourite colour then OP?

Not really just looking for something a bit different,check my second post in this thread there's a link to some options overclockers sent me for my case, two points to bear in mind I'm into battlefield and don't laugh I'm 64.

larryddd · 5 Sep 2013 at 16:03

thanks for your reply was also looking at this one and also the one in army green
but,might be slightly over the top

larryddd · 5 Sep 2013 at 16:28

Idleman I sent your basket to overclockers to see how much a custom build would be and they came back with this
Please note though that we may well have to change either the RAM or cooler as the tall heat-spreaders on this RAM will probably interfere with the large CPU cooler.?

The GTX 770 is a quick card but that HD 7990 is in a different league, its right up there with the GTX 780's & Titan (game depended) its actually 2x HD 7970's put together on a single PCB. (I can do a red and black if you like with the HD 7990

Thanks Ethermaster a red one would be nice,it would go really nice with this case as its red inside
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-066-CS
I'll go with the HD 7990

larryddd · 5 Sep 2013 at 17:14

Thanks Ethermaster that looks really nice

larryddd · 5 Sep 2013 at 17:22

that's a lot of fans in there but I guess you cant have to many. is the cpu cooler manufacturer refurbished unit going to give me any problems in the future.

larryddd · 5 Sep 2013 at 17:23

yes looking at the side view I see its black inside

larryddd · 5 Sep 2013 at 19:22

Thanks for the reply Idleman. I was reading a thread somewhere else and someone said the i5 is better value than the i7 for a single card,any thoughts on this
