which pre built OCuK pc?

[jfp]

Looking to get my first OCUK pc, wanting it for work, internet and playing games like Civ 5, half life 2, starcraft 2, FF14, FF11 etc. The two that I have been interested in are the Ultima Black OPS (with SSD and a blu ray player) or the Titan Aurora (with SSD and upgraded to the i5)

Any thoughts on the above 2 and which would be better for what I am after?

Also what wireless card would you recommend I get? Are wireless cards just as good/better than the wireless USB adapters?

well basically if money was not an issue with either which one should I go for? Also which would be the most silent system of the two? I know both will do the job, but in the long run which would be better?

Did you not read my post?

The Black Ops is better in almost every single component so it's more future proof. The only reason Stulid is trying to persuade you into the Aurora is because you will never use the full capacity of an i7, while that is true now, you never know in 1 or 2 years time. You also get a copy of CoD Black Ops which should save you like 40 or 50 quid.

Yes I read your post and I agree with you, will order the Black ops today and then ring up overclockers as I will go collect both the rig and the dell u2410 that I have on order rather than paying twice for Saturday delivery and also this should minimize any risk of damage on route

Thank you everyone for your help and advice.

You're assuming he is willing to change MB+CPU+ possibly RAM by himself which is a brave assumption considering he's buying a pre-built system

Either options are fine, tbh, if it was my money I'd buy the Aurora + big monitor but OP is saying money is not a issue so why not go for the best

Already have the dell U2410, and have £1300 available which would allow me to get the black ops with SSD and OS or get the aurora with i5, SSD and OS. I could have tried to build my own but time I dot have a lot of time to do it plus if anything goes wrong I wont have much time to sort it. Need a reliable rig asap as the laptop I have atm seems to stop working every so often (needs rebooting from a disc) and its just stupidly irritating atm as I need it for work work.

Like I said will go for the black ops and order now as its on offer and I dont know when there week ends but hopefully can ring them and sort out getting delivery refunded on both items and arrange to collect them this weekend.

Also what were peoples thoughts on the wireless card vs usb wireless adapter thing?
