High End Gaming PC Suggestions

Hello all
I have already posted a few threads on these forums in which I've requested feedback on various PC specifications which I have put together. Over the course of the past few months I have been very indecisive in terms of actually placing an order on a PC. I've configured multiple builds with the sole purpose of creating the ultimate gaming PC for my budget; £1500.

The reason for me creating yet another thread is because I would really appreciate seeing how you would spend £1500 on a PC made purely gaming at maximum quality. (Games will include the most recent games and games to come in the close future).

Any input will be fantastic & I will look forward to seeing what you can come up with. I'll definitely be buying a PC based on this thread so the next thread I post could potentially feature photographs of the PC you suggest to me.

Thank you in advance. :)

Hi,
You could continue your previous thread for further feadback. In my opinion for your budget you could consider 2 x GTX 670 in SLI , it will provide +60 fps in very demanding games like BF3 but a single GTX 670 will max most games at high settings.

-vanthus, I don't require any of those.

-keynes that seems to be a very powerful machine indeed. Thank you for your input. Would it be beneficial to consider upgrading the CPU cooling option & also add extra case fans? Will the i5-3570 be capable of performing at an equally high calibre as the SLI GPU's or could the CPU potentially hinder the performance of the cards?

For the i5-3570 you wouldn't need to upgrade the cpu cooler and adding fans is something optional. I wouldn't worry about cooling and the cpu will not bottleneck your gpu.
