    Hi all,
    Can anyone recommend a seriously good gaming pc that can be also used for business applications. Was seriously thinking of building one myself but the prospect is a bit daunting so if anyone has bought one lately and is happy with its performance, I'd be delighted to hear from you. :)
    Thanks

    Build one yourself.
    I was feeling a bit "daunted" with the prospect of building one but with the amount of info on the net you cant really go wrong.

    That was 2 years ago and i got an XPS, which is good, but if i had built it myself it would have been half the bloody price (something i discovered after).

    I am by no means a computer expert (far from it) but building your own is easy enough if you do the research.

    Good prices here too: www.overclockers.co.uk

    eh... NO!

    Don't use overclockers now that the sterling has gone back to somewhat normal lvl's and they charge Irish Vat rates too...

    You should post a new Thread in the Building & Upgrading forums stating exactly what you'll be doing on it, what games you'll want to play and at what resolution your screen is.

    A budget is also a good thing
