You can Try Dell, Alien Ware.

Was thinking of a Hardwareversand.de build if anyone wants to suggest the best possible combination? Sorry for not clarifying, thanks though.

I can burn half my budget and still get a better rig than those offered by Alienware/Dell.

You can't be serious? An alienware with an i3 and gtx 645 will cost €700. It will be horribly underpowered.
You can build a very nice gaming system for €700

Thanks man, that looks like quite the setup! especially the graphics card, i'll get that first as soon as I can afford it ..if it's still in stock.

Does AMD have the upperhand for gaming? Cos the spec looks a lot better than most of the intel CPUs and they are considerably cheaper.

Bang for buck, the actually do, as much as people are loathe to admit it. But the highest end Intel chips will generally out-perform AMD ones in gaming, and are more efficient too. But try are more expensive.

Thought as much. Looks like the AMD FX is perfect for my budget.

It's the highest performing processor you will get for that kind of money anyway and it will overclock a fair bit. You should be able to get at least 4.5ghz with that mainboard and cooler.

Are you seriously asking whether you should get a pirate copy of Windows on a public forum? It's not that expensive and far less hassle.:rolleyes:
