Hey There,
My Budget is £1000 - but thats pushing it.
I like the look of the Ultima Gamer PC - i7 950 Hydrophobia- But its 1,100 + i want 12 gig memory with it which will push it up to 1,300-1,500.
I would like a water cooled processor (for overclocking)
a decent asus motherboard, (for software overclock)
the best processor for the best GHz, (overclocked again)
decent graphics card. (only single due to game not being that strong [maybe overclockable])
decent harddrive (even thought ive been told solid state drives make the computer faster - so maybe one of them)
average power supply (around 750 wats) need enough power for my overclocking
i want 7.1 surround sound, because im looking at buying the razer megalodon headset (which will probably be on the board)
and i need al this just as a tower, dont need windows 7, dont need screen, dont need any accessories, just the tower.
And also want to try get underneath the £800 budget region :)
Thanks if anyone can help, i basically want the hydrophobia, but for cheaper :)
if you have any other suggestions on a better system for less money that will tick all my boxes for overclocking then please suggest.

you can lower the price a bit with the cooling, you do not need water cooling, you can get a good xtreme cooler for aroung 30 squid, the GTX 460 is virtually the same as the 470 (visually) never mind the one or 2 difference in frame rates there techie guys tell you. the i7 950 is cheap enough from OCUK slap 4 gig of ram on it and you laughing

yeah, laughing at having even worse performance from a i7 cpu than a i5, a i7 is all about the triple channel memory controller.

and a GTX470 at the moment with its £175 price tag is worth every penny over a GTX460.

Agreed! From the benches I have seen its far more than a 2fps increase that was suggested earlier, espicially at higher res with aa and af
