Another spec me I’m afraid….
My budget is £2750 & I need absolutely everything - Tower, monitor, O/S, keyboard, mouse, gamepad, speakers, headphones (wireless), mouse mat, thermal paste, and finally a multi-function printer.
I really like the look of the Corsair Obsidian 800D case so would like that included - although I am a bit concerned about the best way to cool everything??! Water, air, or both? I hear good things about the airflow of the case if you change a few internal fans? Water is not out of the question but it just adds a couple of hundred extra pounds to the bill and a maintenance headache so I would prefer air for now. One of the reasons I like this case is that it gives me the option of switching to water at a later date.
I know a lot of people will not like the next thing I am going to say but…..I really want the Nvidia 3D Vision and Samsung Syncmaster monitor bundle! I know it means gaming at only 1680x1050 but I have read a fair few reviews and I have made my mind up - although no doubt you will try and change it! The monitor itself gets a pretty good review on TFT Central so even if the 3D bit is rubbish I should still get on with the screen, hopefully.
On that previous point I should say that I am waiting for the new Nvidia GT300 series to be released so if you do spec me then make sure you budget at least £500 (or more!) for one.
OK, I think I have covered everything, so, if you were going to buy a brand new system what would you buy?
Thanks.
