Nice one.

And obliv Urban lives in the USA, he's 5 hours behind, so say its 1pm there. He works and im sure he has more important things to do than come on here.

Obliv post SS's of all the tabs of CPU-Z.

For the cost of what you want to spend, you CAN get a descent PC. However, don't expect upgradibility to anything that's not already outdated in the sense of "last hardware generation".

wud that be a good comp (cheap)

I'm going to pretend i didn't hear that.

No, wait, i can't. Maybe you fail to comprehend. This PC is LOWEST possible system that meets your specs. You asked for something usable, here it is. You wanted upgradability, each component here can be replaced with one of the next-generation ones.

I mean, ****, it's got a SLI *PRO* chipset.

If you can't afford this, change your spec.

To LomCN users in general: Don't think you get a 'MEGA1337-PWNEDIRLTBH' computer without parting with some money.

Can't afford it? Tough ****, get a job.

The only thing I would change is probably the mobo+ram. If you really think you'll be getting SLI in the future (nice hefty $$) then keep it. However, if you don't think you'll be going the dual GFX then I recommend this motherboard: http://komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=307851&cks=PRL

It has onboard GFX also if you want to cut out the PCI-E. The only game I've played with it was WOW and if I remember correctly it did 800x600/1024x768? low-medium settings.

Also, I would definitely make sure you got at least 512 of ram unless you plan to do mini upgrades to the system every 3-4 weeks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My advice to you is to either go with Auron's config or if you can get more money wait . Stuff like 2x the HDD space etc is only a little away.
