Jeez, I don't know much about pc's, couldn't even tell you my pc's spec.

But surely that's well over the top?

 

[Far]

paying £800 for a gfx card is over the top imo. my whole pc cost that, and i can bet my 512mb 8800 shows just as good performance which cost £100. but hey. if you've got the money, and thats gonna last you for a while atleast lol.

 

[RedDragonX]

8800 GTX is old news now, a GT almost matches it and a HD 4850/4870 smashes it :/

 

[demonx]

lol always nice to have a little overkill :]].... or alot , and that was kinda the plan, to make it last without having to make any big changes :]]

and also i did say this was around last year or so, and they do me fine so dont really see a point in buying new gfx cards lol.

 

[Sawell]

E8200 clocked to 3.6 (yes, I rule)
9800 GTX+ clocked to nearly 830 core
2GB low latency (forgot the times) RAM
2TB RAID Storage
Asus p5q pro running P45 chipset, chose it over a nvidia chipset.. don't want SLi yet and intel chipsets are so much better for what I need.

All in all cost me about £400.

But that's what you get when you know where to look, and have a distributor

Best advice I can give to you all though is to buy tomorrow's technology tomorrow and today's today. You might think you're the king of the LAN party buying all the latest and greatest, but when you look again in 3 months and see the prices of your components halved, the only one laughing is the manufactures that live off 'must have' consumers buying their stock at stupid prices.

An example is the difference between my £400 rig and demonx's £2510.79 rig.

There's no current game or task I couldn't match that spec in, and when the time comes that there is a game so demanding that to play it I will need to upgrade to SLi, or go quad core... which is a long time coming, as GPUs will be bottlenecking performance before CPUs get a look-in for some time. I'll be able to buy components that will surpass those for a quarter of the price.

I'm not dissing you, I did exactly the same the first time I built my own pc, I even spent roughly the same amount.. I'm just saying that you could have probably saved yourself 2 grand and had a pc that lasted the same amount of relative time.

On a side note if any of you are interested in upgrading your pcs then feel free to ask me about components/prices or advice and I'd be happy to help and give you a quote if required.
