You'll get a lot better system building it yourself, and its really not that difficult. If you pick the right motherboard it will also come with profiles that will automatically overclock the system for you also.

mp260767 has done a spec for you already that is pretty good for the money.

Is there a graphics card in mp's spec?

Jano · 15 Sep 2011 at 16:24

Yes and no, it has an onboard gpu. Depending on what your planning on playing may also have some effect on the spec.

Foehammer cheers for advice mate, you think an own build is better then For the budget I'm on and wanting it running on the 32" tv?

You don't fancy speccing 1 for me do you?

I'll need some form of operating system aswell within my budget.
Dave

Right, i dont often spec here, so PLEASE

get someone to check it first, a little over budget but should be much better imo, lol after all its VERY similar to my system

Also bear in mind thats using the stock intel cooler, if you want to overclock then you will need to get something more suitable after perhaps

EDIT: Or go with Stulid's lol, he da man round these parts

(although his does not include O/S

)

stulid · 15 Sep 2011 at 16:36

I_AM_THE_STIG · 15 Sep 2011 at 16:38

if you are not bothered about upgrading anytime soon deffo go for the arkham destructor. its a good spec and a good price. if you are new to computers its also ready built so no need to worry about building it yourself.

the cpu is overclocked nicley so that will last a few years. also, if you need more graphics power in the future you can replace the graphics card and psu if needed without affecting the overclock.

arkham destructor all day long. BOOM!!

I_AM_THE_STIG · 15 Sep 2011 at 18:20

Sounds good gazjones105 so the arkham is the best spec for my money.

I spoke with them and to upgrade to 8gb ram and add windows 7 is £718

gazjones105 · 15 Sep 2011 at 22:21

get the ram added as well then if ya can afford to. double the ram for not much extra.

I_AM_THE_STIG · 16 Sep 2011 at 07:27

Ye I'd be doing the windows 7 and 8gb ram mate £718. Can't seem to see any better specs for that money
