Spec my friend a gaming rig [£1,600 | Custom WC]

MissileMoose · 25 Nov 2011 at 16:44

Hi all,

My friend's looking to build a new gaming rig, he has £1,600 available and wants to include a completely custom water-cooling loop.

He already has a monitor, operating system, keyboard and mouse.

Thanks!

Oh, it must be Intel and Nvidia. He'll use it for internet browsing - Facebook and all. He plays flash games too (Farmville).

Will it run mincraft on ultra?

I suppose he wants the GFX's water cooled also?

He asked, "what's Minecraft"? I'm trying to get him into modern FPS games like Battlefield 3, but he isn't interested.

Yes.

I was thinking more 580 3GB with a 2700k? :D

iloveulongtime. ;)

He'll add another 580 3GB later he's saying.

Rebecca Black Friday deal Blueray isn't needed, also.

You will still need two fittings for maybe for the GFX card block and some tubing to plumb into the system.

Tried to keep everything Black and with this Red fluid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siAISwFqTdA&feature=player_embedded - but you may need a litre more to account for the extra GFX loop

Tee hee

Why does he need a powerful gaming computer then?

stulid's spec looks great.

I think you should really make an effort to persuade him that it is a complete waste of money.

All he needs is a 500 quid pc maybe with a nice SSD in it so it feels snappy but 1600 pounds is just ridiculous for those uses....it's not 1993 anymore....
