not really, as i work in an Audio visual store so i get them at discount, and i already have certain products in mind

bugnotme · 26 Jun 2008 at 20:57

anyone else with any more systems......

Thanks

bugnotme · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:06

what would you recomend for a budget of around £2000 spot on. I am looking for a the maximum performance for the money. i prefer thermaltake or antec pc cases. also this hsould include watercooling. i was wondering what is more recomendable AMD or Intel.

Sorry for the questions but i need the help.
Thanks

I Plan to overclock the cpu

bugnotme · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:15

why is everyone reccomending 4850's?4870's rather than the 9800GX2

bugnotme · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:20

sorry. this is just a general budget. i am doing my research and learning.

bugnotme · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:21

although a High-end PC is required

bugnotme · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:35

thnx for suggestions and comments

bugnotme · 26 Jun 2008 at 21:38

will watercooling be required (for system acidhell2 suggested), as i plan to overclock the cpu to at least 3.3ghz or will the cpu cooler be sufficient.
