Buying a Gaming PC but I need help! 12 years, 2 months ago #30789

The problem? I have no idea what to buy! Lol my knowledge of components etc is next to nothing and so I was hoping some of you might be able ot help (Hi again btw)
Let's just say my current Acer Aspire Laptop isn't what it used to be... I can't even play minecraft single player for crying out loud :\ Since I got a job recently (first job so no tax atm FTW) and I currently have a budget of £1800 to use on a new computer and get rid of this old junk. I don't want a laptop as I will end up killing it's battery and I use this laptop as a desktop anyway, never leaves this desk it's on, I'm looking to get 2 monitors, have one but it's broken, no idea how eitehr  Just would like to hear opinions on the best I can get with that sort of a budget. Pre-made or not either is fine since my step-brother can make the pc as long as he has the parts. I'm pretty sure I could get a damn fine gaming pc with that sort of a budget, nowhere near creme de la creme but from what I've seen, I can get most of the pc's that I've seen get the best reviews If you guys need any more info just ask away and I'll try to answer best I can! P.S. The faster I get myself a new comp the faster I can get back onto minecraft and css  |

Damn I take back what I said maybe I do know a bit about what I'm looking for with the right site!
 I went on that site before you made that post and fiddled about a bit and came up with this which so far has been very similar to the one you made up Case PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i5-2500 Quad Core (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache) + HD Graphics Motherboard ASUS® P8Z68-V/GEN3: PCI-E 3.0 READY, SLI, CROSSFIREX***SPECIAL*** Memory (RAM) 8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (2 x 4GB KIT) Graphics Card 2GB AMD RADEON™ HD6950 - 2 DVI,HDMI,2 mDP - DX® 11, Eyefinity 4 Capable Memory - 1st Hard Disk 1TB SATA-II 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 32MB CACHE (7,200rpm) 2nd Hard Disk 600GB VELOCIRAPTOR WD6000HLHX, SATA 6-Gb/s, 32MB CACHE (10,000rpm) SSD CACHE DRIVE 20GB INTEL® SSD 311 SERIES - CACHE DRIVE FOR SYSTEM / 1st HDD 1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM Memory Card Reader INTERNAL 52 IN 1 CARD READER (XD, MS, CF, SD, etc) + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT Power Supply CORSAIR 650W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX650 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE (£69) Processor Cooling TITAN FENRIR EVO EXTREME HEATPIPE CPU COOLER (£39) Fan Controller NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller with upto 5 Fitted Case Fans Sound Card Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ Titanium - Fatal1ty Professional Series (£102) Network Facilities GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS 802.11N 300Mbps PCI CARD (£16) USB Options 6 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL (MIN 2 FRONT PORTS) AS STANDARD Operating System Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit - inc DVD & Licence (£79) Office Software FREE Microsoft® Office Starter 2010 (Limited functionality Word & Excel) Anti-Virus NO ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE Monitor 22" Widescreen TFT 1920 x1080 2MS D-Sub, DVI, 21.6" Panel (£99) 2nd Monitor 22" Widescreen TFT 1920 x1080 2MS D-Sub, DVI, 21.6" Panel (£99) DVI-D & HDMI Monitor Cables 2 x 2 METRE GOLD PLATED V1.4 HDMI CABLE (£15) Warranty 3 Year Standard Warranty (1 Month Collect & Return, 1 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour) Delivery STANDARD INSURED DELIVERY TO UK MAINLAND (MON-FRI) Build Time Standard Build - Approximately 10 to 12 working days Quantity 1 I then realised I had made a few mistakes and again need to clarify a few things. I have a HI-FI AMP system with two floor standing speakers, so would want to use them but unsure if they'd be able to connect to the sound card/whatever I'm also planning on revamping my TV (32" CRT, rubbish basically!) and was wondering if it might be worth getting that as a monitor instead (since I've seen 50" 3D TV's selling for LESS than 27" 3D monitors and that got me thinking...) Anyway after fixing a few mistakes I pulled out this: Case PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i5-2500 Quad Core (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache) + HD Graphics Motherboard ASUS® P8Z68-V/GEN3: PCI-E 3.0 READY, SLI, CROSSFIREX***SPECIAL*** Memory (RAM) 8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (2 x 4GB KIT) Graphics Card 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 Ti - 2 DVI,HDMI,VGA - 3D Vision Ready Memory - 1st Hard Disk 1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm) 1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM Memory Card Reader INTERNAL 52 IN 1 CARD READER (XD, MS, CF, SD, etc) + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT Power Supply CORSAIR 750W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX750 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE (£87) Processor Cooling SUPER QUIET 22dBA TRIPLE COPPER HEATPIPE INTEL CPU COOLER (£19) Sound Card ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD) Network Facilities GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS 802.11N 300Mbps PCI-E CARD (£16) USB Options 6 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL (MIN 2 FRONT PORTS) AS STANDARD Operating System Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit - inc DVD & Licence (£79) Office Software FREE Microsoft® Office Starter 2010 (Limited functionality Word & Excel) Anti-Virus BULLGUARD INTERNET SECURITY - FREE 90 DAY TRIAL Monitor IIYAMA E2273HDS 22" LED WIDESCREEN, HDMI/DVI-D 1920x1080 (£139) 2nd Monitor IIYAMA E2273HDS 22" LED WIDESCREEN, HDMI/DVI-D 1920x1080 (£139) DVI-D & HDMI Monitor Cables 2 x 2 METRE GOLD PLATED V1.4 HDMI CABLE (£15) Warranty 3 Year Standard Warranty (1 Month Collect & Return, 1 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour) Delivery STANDARD INSURED DELIVERY TO UK MAINLAND (MON-FRI) Build Time Standard Build - Approximately 10 to 12 working days Quantity 1 With the monitors I am also thinking about changing them up to two 27" monitors and not getting a TV, however I'd need to know if I could plug my console into them (I can image 2 screened skyrim would be awesone) before deciding that as I wouldn't want to have 2 monitors, no tv and no way to play my xbox! |

 Is that a wand in your pocket ... or are you just pleased to see my succubus? |
