Need a gaming PC, have monitor, and hard drive, need everything else. Decent but cheapish. 8800 GTX is looking like a bargin toso maybe include that. Cheers.

Are you wanting future SLI-ness?

 

[semi-pro waster]

Do you have a budget in mind? Cheapish is a pretty vague term really. What size is your monitor? Is your hard drive SATA? Do you need an OS?

No SLI and no overclocking, machines will be bought in bulk, all the same. So cheap but capable parts. Was thinking 6750, 8800gtx and some cheap motherboard if you can recommend one. Capable ram that won't be overclocked, 4GB for vista in the near future.

Again cheap case, dvd rom etc.

Mainly just looking for recommendations.

Don't need monitor, or hard drive. Monitors are 22inch wide. Assume SATA hard drives.

Cheers

£400 - 500 budget, everything minus the monitor, hard drive, os, keyboard/mouse already have these.

This is just about the middle of the budget, the CPU is really begging to be overclocked but if that isn't an option you could perhaps put some of the extra in the budget towards an E6750 although I don't think them great value for money generally.

I think it defo go for the 6750 over that, its going to be for a wide range of games, but I think I know were your coming from, as most games will be GPU limited at widescreen res.

The more ideas the better!
