Best Gaming rig for £1100 or £1400

[nitesh45]

I dont really know what to get but in that budget i need:

A nvidia graphics card(3D Vision ready)

3D Ready monitor

3D vision pack thats all i things i want with my pc the cheaper the better

 

[Wozza63]

are you sure you want 3D, it would save a lot of money staying with the ultimate 2D

 

[Wozza63]

Didnt see you could go up to £1400, only saw £1100, new spec will be here soon

 

[nitesh45]

Yea i would but i adore 3d i was going to get a 3d tv but i need a pc more so 3D is really desperate for me

Woah thanks thats perfect but i am never goin to add another gpu so what psu should i get instead

 

[Wozza63]

umm choose a 650W Corsair one, it shouldnt come up with any problems if it does it will probably say you only require a 600W, but dont do it as they are lower quality (not bad quality) but you dont want a real expensive rig to blow up or anything, not that it would ever happen, im digging mysef a deep hole and someone will come along and say how they are fine, when i know they are fine but not the highest quality

 

[Wozza63]

or you could choose the 750W one incase you ever want to add more RAM, HDDs optical drives, fans etc, because it all eventually adds up

you could also put some of the money into a six core processor but that is optional futureproofing, getting a bigger PSU for second card would be better futureproofing anyway

 

[nitesh45]

thanks for all the help

 

[nitesh45]

Oh btw love your cat

 

[Wozza63]

thats ZOMG kitteh, search it on youtube (watch the raywilliamjohnson video - you'll probably end up watching his vids every week, i think he's hilarious!)

 

[tom_gr7]

only thing I change in that spec would be to a I5 2500 or I7 2600. But that's personal preference. The AMD would still do a great job

edit - and the motherboard too, in my opinion would be more future proof.

 

[Wozza63]

that would push the price up by quite a bit meaning the 580 or something would be dropped
