UBER GAMING PC SPEC

headworx · 13 Feb 2006 at 12:49

Hello peeps,
I was wondering if people could spec me the best possible uber gaming machine for around £600 - £1000 trying to stay as close to £600 as possible but upgradable so when i get some more cash i can add to the system

Cheers

thankyou for your time

Do you just want the base unit? Or do you want a keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers etc?

Defcon5 · 13 Feb 2006 at 13:03

£600 wont get anything uber im afraid. Especially if you need a screen + kbm + windows!

Eliminos · 13 Feb 2006 at 13:06

With a nice case and fans it will be £650. Its just the box.

You could go all the way up to £1000 and change bits out. You could go with a 3800x2, a 7800gt (with a relevant mobo, asus sli-deluxe or something) and OCZ EB.

It all depends what games you want to play with it and at what res. The one I posted should run DoD with everything on high at 1024.

Eliminos where's the motherboard? Monitor? Keyboard? Mouse?
£600 won't get you a decent gaming COMPLETE system, but if you've already got a system so reusing case/psu/monitor/hd, then only need a mobo/cpu/memory/GFX so decent machine for £600 is possible.

I thought it looked a bit cheap, I put a sapphire in there but I must have forgotten to hit confirm.

Defcon5 · 13 Feb 2006 at 13:25

Id have 1gb ram and a better gfx card rather than the other way round.

headworx · 13 Feb 2006 at 15:17

Providing it's your copy, and it won't be running on more than 1 machine then it's ok, I think :confused:

friddela · 13 Feb 2006 at 16:09

Yeh, each machine must have a seperate copy of windows.

i did this jsut for fun so there mite be some mistakes, 2 things i m not sure about , is the PSU good enuff and the case is a bit .... poo ,lol

u mite also need to overclock the opty144 to not bottle neck the gfx card , but u can alsways change it to a 3500 or something

but here you go, even have COD2, SLI board so u can upgrade later if u wish.

badbob · 13 Feb 2006 at 16:26

I would change that Maxtor to another make- Western Digital or Seagate. Personally would buy a better quality & bigger case, with SLI want more ventilation. Sliced fingers from unrolled edges isn't fun either (blood spurts everywhere you don't notice it for ages so makes a mess and it doesn't seem to stop!) Midi towers are too cramped, ok before adding all data/power/comms cables but after all that a right mess. Larger cases are deeper so you can push them aside and tidy them up.

If possible buy a modular PSU, as can be seen here right mess 'o cables..(different PSU though) Is yours modular?
