Hello,


Need a new computer for my newly decorated room :).

Want it purely for gaming and browsing the web as I have a work laptop which i use for.

These are the things I want
- Needs to be able to run all the latest games at the highest level with no problems and to be future proof if possible.
- Need a good medium/large sized screen
- good sound system
- good keyboard nothing fancy
- all ready have a mouse :D.

and want windows 7 64 bit

My budget is 35 pounds a month so please play around as much as you can. to be honest Im not going to be playing the latest games mainly guild wars and guild wars 2 so might be worth looking up the requirements.

Want a good looking case thank you in advance!!!

regards,
Zebzabi


Thanks everyone in advance.

regards

Well with a GTX 580 (Single fastest nvidia), you can pretty much max out any game and still have it around 60 FPS

Ps add to my rep if i was helpful.

Great set up there but two things..

1) Add the silver warranty which is an extra fiver.
2) This is purely my opinion but I wouldn't get Norton, waste of money and it's slow, I had Norton for years and it gave me nothing but hell, free ones like Avast or AVG are just as good unless you do a lot of online shopping at a number of websites.

But on the plus side is that I have both your keyboard and speakers and both are fantastic for the money, well worth it.

Thanks for in the information - great help.


just a little Question - Is that set-up future proof? Will i be able to play most games on max settings?
And do I need The HDMI Cable for the moniter?

Thanks in advance

Btw I gave you a rep :)

It is future proof indeed! I'm not sure about NVidia cards but it should handle games on max settings, I'm not sure about BF3 though, certainly high settings. Brilliant graphics card though.

Yes, you would need a HDMI for the monitor, easy to forget. Your monitor will also support HDMI so that shouldn't be a problem, just a matter of plugging it in and your there and that should cover full 1080 HD.
