gaming rig! its time i invested :)

PingVsPong

So here it is... i have £700 to buy a gaming rig that is going to be used to play the latest games. Though im mostly going to be playing a MMO, not decided just yet!

-intel duo based i think its called, cant be ar**d with quad. as i have been reading some crap on the net that says most games arnt actually taking advantage of quad, so in my eyes i think i dont need it

--needs to have a monitor! other wise its just a 700 pound paper weight :P
and erm keyboard

i have a mouse, yes random...

im hoping that you can also find a perfect GC that will be in budget and hone in on the aspect that i will be focusing on MMO's!!

being a student i cant be going upwards, i know its still alot of dosh and that...so hopfully u can help me out, as its a confusing world of pc hunting!

cheers!

700 sterling or 700 euro?

I can juust about spec you one on hardwareversand.de with a monitor for 700euros, would play all the MMO's including Age of Conan..

If on the other hand its 700 sterling, then you should be able to build a faster machine with a 22 inch gaming monitor.

Couple the build in that pic with this monitor and you should have a pretty good machine that's within your budget.

Quad core 6700 .. or 8600 core2duo.. your choice

Gigabyte motherboard for about 70 or 80

4 gig 6400 ram

ATI 4870

Nice case

Corsair 550w or higher power

750gb SAMSUNG hdd

+ Asus 22 inch monitor 2 ms for gaming

ok, so i didn't recognize that this was a euro site...

the price that im hoping to spend is : 892.875 EUR
(yeah, kinda went to a currency site, so its precise

but, i kinda would also like a reason for why you would recommend any ATI...as personally i was going to go for the 8800 GTS. Tho im kinda asking for help so 4 now im wrong lol

also, the type of mmo im going to play is infact AOC..

another last thing is...im kinda wanting a site that will build it for me...or a site that will at least gimme some flexable customing.

Becuase bang for Buck , the Ati card will deliver More framerates for Less euros

A nice 4850/4870 will do nicely ,

4870 @ about 200 euros has Far far more grunt that a Gts , the 4870 is squatting inbetween the GTX260 and GTX280 on performance.

HV will build your computer for 20 or 25 euros i think , they have very good selection and from my own experience service is top , ( i do speak German tho )

PingVsPong

lol yeah, i was thinking that most ppl on here like the old HV... tho that was one of my probs since there german, how could there service be if i cant understand them lol

But im gonna have a proper look at HV and i'll stick somthing up that i think is ok...and im hoping your go...yeah that rocks or...wtf r u thinking

chow for now
