Alright guys, so here is my plan, Just wanted to share it with you and see what you think, then i'll buy this weekend. (Considering i'm on a £600 Budget)

So, my plan is, To buy the Titan Nero, and a Monitor.

Titan Nero with Windows 7 Home Premium - £479.88

Samsung 21.5" Monitor - £117.49

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-137-SA

Total - £617.93

I know that this won't be too great and i'll only get away with playing games at low-medium settings if i want 30+ Frames Per Second, but i'm sure it will do me for the time being.

So anyway, what i was thinking, is if i buy all of this on Monday and deal with playing on lower settings, I will save money as i'm on a tight budget for now. And there is always the option to upgrade!

So, i was going to buy all of thise on monday'ish, deal with lower settings, then treat myself at christmas and upgrade my CPU and GFX Card.

So what do you think? I'm sure it'll do for the time being.
 
im no expert at these kind of things but wouldnt building it youserlf be more fun?
i kind of tried speccing the same one as the one your buying except for the ram,a tri core,600w be quiet psu,785g motherboard and a xigmatek asgard case. came to around £225 but as i said im no expert at these things so you dont have to agree with me.
 
How desperate are you for a PC now? In all honesty, it sounds like a bad plan. If you can save like £75 a month till christmas, you'll be on an £900 budget, which will get you a nice tidy setup.

I think in another thread you said you didn't want to build yourself, but it would definitely be the best option.

Also if you were going to buy cheap now and upgrade in 4 months time then I'd get a good AM3 board with a cheap CPU and a second hand graphics card (think 9800 or worse) then hold out till Christmas.

Then get a good GPU and a X4 955 or whatever you need :)
 
never mind seen your old ost saying your budget was £350 but you parents wont let you build so you decided to go pre-built.
 
Hmm, Well should i just get the Krypt with the GTX 460 768mb, and have no money for a month? I'd have about £100 left to last me a month, After taking away money for food etc, if i went for the Krypt.
 
Do you currently have a monitor? It would be better to spend all of the £617 on a PC and then add a monitor later on. There's nothing wrong with buying a pre-built PC but not if you plan on upgrading it in the near future.

It's the same as the Nero, but with a GTX 460 768mb, and a extra 100w PSU, Should i just buy that?
