What do you guys think?

i'm paranoid in case the new specs don't work out and don't play games at 60 fps+ and good performance etc, then that's £1,000 wasted :'(
 
Mate, a 4670k and a 290 is about as good as it gets for a single card system without spending silly money.

If anything, I might suggest a better case, but you should be fine with that lot.
 
okay! :)

do overclockers work week ends /nights?
kinda want the PC as soon as possible to play the games I want to play :P
 
sent them an e-mail asking how much would it cost for them to build it and send it to me etc. Probably a lot :P
 
What do you guys think of this?

I got told AMD is better than Intel for gaming? Is this correct?

Can someone show me a decent, excellent pre-built gaming PC from around £1,000 - £1,100 which is worth buying I really need one as soon as possible :)

No. AMD are not better than Intel for games.

People have shown you good systems already within your budget. Stick with the Intel / 290 build.

Yes it would handle those games.

I would suggest swapping the MSI card for the Sapphire 290 Tri-X

Change the Ram for something faster, i.e 2400MHz.

You also want the primary Hard drive as the SSD, and the secondary drive as the Seagate.



So something like this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11227-03-40G) £329.99
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLAD38G2400HC11CDC01) £55.99
Total : £395.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Why a 770? They're really not the sort of GPUs to be spending £250 on now, with their 2GB of RAM and 256bit memory interface, they were being saturated by games at 1080P in the past, never mind now and in the future. A 770 is a really poor choice.
