spec me a pc for £2500

[fobose]

.....The only thing in this setup that is excessive is 2 x 4870x2 and even if you dropped one of those it would still be well over 2 grand

Not to mention the 1250w PSU you have spec'd.

Why would you get raptors. SSDs are better these days and there's no reason you need that much space for an OS drive.

I believe this supply has 93A on the 12 volt rail ! Now thats a beast I know BUT the op did say he wanted the best he could get for the money so why would I spec a power supply that was just ok ???????????

 

[DeathTyrant]

He's budgetted for it tho and wants best spec for his money.

That's fair enough, but have you explained to him that a £2500 rig isn't going to be twice as powerful as a £1250 rig? It might not even be 1.5 times as powerful, if we are talking about gaming.
Law of diminishing returns you see. Don't get me wrong, if I had £2500 to blow, I'd want a super duper ePeen PC, but it won't exactly be bang for your buck...

 

[widdyst]

i totally agree a £2500 pc will definitely not be twice as good as a £1250 pc ! BUT it will be better! I just dont think we need to insult the ops intelligence and point this out repeatedly though as he is probably aware of this ! And lets remember overclockers do list systems for twice this budget so its not that crazy is it !

grand on graphics i like that idea but spend a little more and you can get the 2gb palit versions instead to go way over the top on graphics ram

Just bear in mind that if you put 3 dual slot cards in the Asus WS Revolution mobo, you will have no slot for a Sound card, and will be limited to onboard sound.

Well all have failed other than acid, 2k to spend on a media/gaming machine for the front room and your all speccing crappy full tower cases!

Spending 2k+ i would deffo want something classy like a Mcubed case http://www.hfx.at/ or one of silverstones HTPC cases.

 

[widdyst]

LOL cant believe I didnt see it was going in his living room ! your right who would want a full tower in there

 

[zeppelin`]

i actually cant put other stuff in there as that would be overkill as it is. only other practical things u could put in there are more harddrives

Lol, I dont really see them as competitors tbh. Unless overclockers are trying to get appeal to the e-peen market lol.
