Hey guys/gals.
Basically I'm looking to get a new system as my current rig is on it's last legs.
I've built my current one, but this time I fancy just having the ease of mind for an extra 50-100 quid.
Looked across a multitude of websites but have found Scan.co.uk to be pretty reasonable on price.
I'm just looking for the best performance games wise I can get for my money, with also the possibility to upgrade to newer Ivy cpus/pcie3 gpus etc... in the future.
Here is what I've mustered up so far.
Case: Coolermaster HAF 912 Plus Black Mid Tower Case w o PSU
Motherboard - Intel Z68 Chipset: Asus P8Z68-V Gen3 Intel Z68
CPU - Intel 2nd Generation "Sandy Bridge": Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3Ghz Quad Core 6Mb Cache
CPU Coolers: Corsair H80 Hydro Series - High Performance CPU Cooler
Overclocking - CPU: 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Sandy Bridge CPU professionally overclocked by our 3XS engineers to 4.7Ghz!!
Memory - DDR3: 16GB (4x4GB) Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1600MHz
Graphics Card: 2x 2GB XFX HD 6950 830MHz GPU 1408 SPs 5200MHz GDDR5
Power Supply Unit: 850W Corsair HX Series Modular - (Dual 570's Graphics Cards)
Solid State Drives: 60GB OCZ Agility 3 SandForce SSD Read 525MB s Write 475MB s
Hard Drives: 500GB Seagate Barracuda SATA 6Gb s 7200rpm 16MB Cache
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DG 5.1 Sound Card & Headphone Ampifier
That's got me up to about 1,500.
Will be playing on 1920 x 1200 monitor or (heres where things get tricky) I would like to be able to hook the system directly up to my home cinema AV system.
Any ideas/opinions/changes whatever, would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to spend the cash on something that isn't quite right.
Cheers in advance, Jimbo
