It costs £459 is there anything that would stop me playing new games like; Singularity / ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead.

If the Tower I suggested wouldnt be able to run these games at high specs, what would you suggest upgrading?

The website is here http://www.arbico.co.uk/Featured-Deals-p-1-c-327.html it is the first Computer Tower you see it costs £459.00

Thanks

Ok thanks for the fast reply, is there any Towers you could suggest for me for under £600 that would play the latest games, I don't know how to build a pc up so that is not an option.

Thats true just remembered my brother can build them but still im stumped on what i'll need to run games smoothly etc, I have a budget of £500 - £600, would that be enough for what i'm asking for? Being able to play the latest pc games.

Yeah I have everything else, the Tower I have now cant handle games and I miss gaming lol, so do you think £500 - £600 will cut it for a good tower able to run NEW pc games?

With that pc you wont be able to play the new games, but you can play old games.
If you want to play new games on high you need a budget of 1000.
If you have a case, monitor, mouse, keyboard, software you can buy a good pc for +-600.

Lets see...

You can go for:
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor
Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P AM3
4GB G.Skill RipJaws 1600MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Memory
Corsair TX650W PSU.
GTX470.
CM HAF-X cabinet

Don't know these prices in UK. So check them out. I hope i didnt miss out on anything.

Where do you buy these stuff, in belgium i need to pay like 1100€ for it XD.

its sad how they try to rip ppl off in this site, dont buy anything from it man

build it up yourself its quite easy and if you cant get someone tech you know to build it for you and give him 30 pounds or something

Yea that build is crap... you might get away with playing age of empires at full graphics lol, but not the lastest games... buy this one http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite... . If you can sum up $750 ($729 plus shipping and handling) man, trust me this is the best deal you will get for a pre-built computer with a decent graphics card. Buying a $600 PC is not worth it if you want to run the latest games bro.


would anyone else agree that this is a good pc? In my currency its only £500 it's a very good price for me.

no its not a good PC at all and it surely wont play any games on high settings, you are better off listening to my advice and build your own PC and get someone to put it together for you I dont know why you think thats difucult honestly

Wouldn't 1100 euro come to something around 600 to 650 pounds?


It used to be a long time ago! Same way dollar was.


Scottpwr I was in the same boat as you, I wanted to buy a new PC for around your budget to play latest games on high settings, but if you actually sit down and research it, you'll see its just not possible for that price. Without a monitor etc you're looking at over £800 for an OK prebuilt system.

I can't recommend any but PC Pro, one of the biggest PC mags in UK has an A List of the best prebuilt rigs and they test them pretty rigorously.

Check this out:

Chillblast Fusion Midgard review

It's 900 quid but you could build it yourself for considerably less - make sure you look at the benchmarks tab in the review too.

Wired2Fire Hellspawn Ultima review

That ones £704 including a monitor mouse and keyboard - but you can probably remove those on the Wired2Fire website.

I reckon theres an error in their crysis benchmark for this Wired2Fire system though! Even if it is on low settings and low res it couldnt be over twice the FPS of the Chillblast system!
