So if you had 2k to spend what would you get?

[Schoieuk]

Wana see what peopel would do. Heres my thought + the asus ramapge 3 when it comes. Pretty much my build

 

[NormanPorkinson]

that but id probably change the cards for 1 5970 actually!

 

[JonJ678]

Probably the computer I have now, I imagine it's cost something like that over the years.

UD5 / i7 920 / 12gb corsair dominator
Akasa omega, mass loaded panels but no mods
PC power and cooling 860W / 8800GT flashed to FX3700, two of
Four radiators / two pumps / four waterblocks

 

[stulid]

Spend about £1200 now, and update again in 6months time with the remaining £800.

I wouldn't notice the small performance deficit against a two thousand pound pc, but get to remain current while you people struggle to play crysis 3 or 4.

 

[wannabedamned]

over budget, but considering i went with retail cpu, because oem was out of stock, i would come in under budget

 

[mart981]

Maybe 1000 on a pc and a grand on a monitor.

 

[PermaBanned]

Dunno, a new phone, electric guitar, camera, bike and hopefully have enough left for an Athlon II X4 build

 

[bru]

here you go a complete system. just for a laugh

 

[Fred]

I'd probably go with something like this, and still have change

 

[413x]

go with a pretty standard high end spec, but get 2 IPS 24in monitors

 

[Schoieuk]

thanks for your replies guys, but no screens and keyboard. Just interested in a solid pc spec for 2k

 

[petriodet]

well your spec had no keyboard or monitor either

 

[Kill_Phil]

well your spec had no keyboard or monitor either

he meant to do a spec without those =]

 

[Kill_Phil]

well heres my pop at it, now its just makes me want to have 2k spare to get this beast

 

[theron]

Total: 1,994.15

 

[bhavv]

This if you dont need any peripherals:

 

[Nelly]

If I had 2 grand to blow on a PC I'd spend a grand instead & live the dream & have a week in Ibiza lol.

Missing off the fittings and tubing to make it fit, obviously. You'd have to get some GPU blocks on the 5970 and maybe even a couple of 120mm rads front and back further down the line.

 

[JTrickle]

Maybe 1000 on a pc and a grand on a monitor.

Closer to what I had in mind. Although I dont think mine works as I believe you cant connect the 3rd monitor as they dont have a dispaly port socket?

I also simply wouldnt spend £2K and not have one of those £190 Intel 80gb SSDs.

 

[Mr. May]

under budget with monitor keyboard and mouse and speakers
