Spec me a full system below £800

I posted one of these before, but decided against it. However, deff looking into off loading my laptop to fund a desktop build. £800 is the max I'll go.

Build needs to include everything except a mouse. After having a glossy screen, think I'll revert back to matte. Widescreen monitor preferred.

I seen a few nice pre-builts, but they come in above budget as they don't include a monitor.

This is the pre-built I was looking at: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...=43&catid=1080&subcat=&name=Ultima Thunder GT Something along that line would be grand.

Use: Medium gaming/web browsing/use as a media center

I've heard good things about the 4870. I'm open to either Intel or ATI.

Aye. Just spotted that after posting. 450w PSU good enough? I know it's quality over quantity, but still seems a little weak.

Loudness isn't an issue tbh. I use headphones practically all the time. 99% of my gaming is done online using Vent/TS.

Forgot about OS system :eek:

this is why I need you guys

Keyboard is required. Mouse is not. I have a Razor Copperhead.

Mainly after ideas. This prob won't happen for a few months yet. Gotta sort myself out with a new place first. Only have a lappy due to lack of space in my current place.

If you aren't buying for a few months, then why ask for a spec. In a few months everything will change especially prices.

I always sound out expensive purchases before buying. If prices drop by a few quid, that is even better.

That is very nice actually

(I say this knowing nothing about mobo's though)

I can stretch £13 lol. I could go up to 1k no problems, but I wouldn't use it enough to warrant spending 1k so I figured £800 is a reasonable amount for a mid-range spec machine without being too silly. Was actually looking at a dual 8800gtx set-up a few months ago, but I figured that was a little overkill for my moderate gaming.
