    I am looking at this one:
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-180-OK&groupid=43&catid=1445&subcat=

    was wondering what you guys think about it, what hidden costs there will be and whatnot, I think it will probably need a wireless card?

    I want this to run some high end games like MW2 but more importantly I need it to run the latest 3DSMax and Unreal Development Kit as smoothly as possible,,

    Also has anyone had any problems ordering from overclockers, will it have a BIOS and network card? any advice you know of that can help me please share,

    maybe if you have any suggestions as to a similar rig for similar price

    also thinking about this monitor

    Works out at around €444 over here (we pay the super-high Irish VAT rate on OCUK stuff here :() without an operating system. Also bear in mind that that's a budget gaming system. It won't run games at super-high speeds with all the options and AA maxed!

    How would a system ship without a BIOS?! :eek: If you mean Windows, nope, none included. And all modern motherboards have (wired) Ethernet built-in. Nor is a wifi card that expensive nowadays.

    As for the monitor... €160 isn't extortionate for a 1080p screen, but there's probably cheaper. Bear in mind that its not a good companion for the system above; the HD4850 simply doesn't have the grunt for high-end, Full HD gaming. If you need 1080p for your 3DS/UDK work then you're looking at a much stronger and pricier system to get games to play nice with a 1920*1080 monitor! :o

    If you can stretch on the budget a bit, have a look out for a dell 2408 wfp monitor - it's got regular vga and dvi inputs for your comp, hdmi for your playstation and the actual panel itself is very good quality colour wise which is a major plus for your 3d work. I'm a full time 3d op and we use them in work - having the usb hub and card reader built in is damn handy too.
