Hey guys, it's been a very long time since I've been in here (damn uni and reddit!).
I'm finally getting around to a new system build; my OcUK Ultima Mobile laptop has done me well but I need a tower again, and something beasty.
Money wise I've gotta keep it under £2k including new monitor. So here goes with the spec I'm considering.
I've already got a spare raptor drive I'll use for the OS, I've got G15, G5, Creative 7.1 speakers and Ive got my old dell ultrasharp 2407wfp so I can run dual monitor setup.
I want to get this beast up to 4GHz and running as silently and efficiently as possible with minimum heat. I intend to overclock the GPUs as well.
So what are people's thoughts? I'm kinda of after a swift machine that will really stand the test of time and be stable as well. I really dont want to break the 2k barrier and I'd like people's expert opinions on wheter I've made any bad decisions etc.
Please post your thoughts before I click the buy button...
Cheers guys!
