Spec me

Hi guys, I'm new here and know nothing about PC's.

I got about £2200 to spend (on everything, OS, keyboard, mouse, monitor, mouse mat, speakers etc)

Its for gaming/video/CAD etc.

P.S I don't like gay looking cases, I have style and taste.

Is this like a test?

If you pass by making a perfect build you get a 'stulid approved' stamp?

Razargh · 18 Jan 2012 at 20:07

You could have a nuclear powered super computer in the basket and stulid wouldn't approve.

Hyburnate · 18 Jan 2012 at 20:17

No, I believe he was ****ing about, thats why I speced him a hideous case and a BullDozer, along with a OcuK PSU
