Spec me a system please chaps!

[sunlitsix]

I seem to have fallen out of the loop slightly again, all of these parts have blown my mind.
SO budget of around £800, can go over it though. Requires everything apart from Win 7 and a case (Bitfenix Shinobi for reference).

Main purposes really are to play BF3 and for 3D model work. (3DS Max etc So it's probably worth packing as much RAM in as possible)

Cheers!

+1 cant fault the spec would personally plumb another 30 ish quid and get a 3tb mech drive over the 1Tb and would keep the old optical drive if you can get away with it.

Looking good to me Will have to check with him about how much space is needed storage wise but cheers for the heads up on the 3Tb drive. The optical drive is also a must (for some reason ).
