Spec me up an £1100 gaming rig plz!

just tried to quote a system. Apologies. I didn't realise how awkward it now is to price things after the website change. Bad call overclockers, bouncing quotes was a BIG part of your biz, now its not so easy and it WILL affect sales.

Nice work, thx, a bit more ram/cpu would be interesting. Bit over budget could work if I leaned on him ;)

I don't really think anymore than 2 GB is necessary for gaming at the moment. However, if you wanted a better CPU, going for an E6600 instead would be very worthwhile.

Yea, got to agree here, I'd go for 6600 tbh. 6300 just dont sound right going with 8800

the 6300 can clock just as well as the 6600 series, in some cases the 6300 cpu's out-clock the 6600's.

i thought there were issues with the DS3 and GeIL ram?
i think the latest bios for the motherboard (F7 revision?) fixes it though

For PSU you could have a look at the OCZ GameXStream 600w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 £76.36 inc VAT

For CPU, I personally, would go for the E6600. :)

I think the geil ram was the only ram not to have any issues. Worked fine here with the f2 bios.
