Hi guys (I'm new so go easy),
As the title suggests I want to build my own PC that will be capable of playing shogun 2/ rome 2 total war on ultra graphics.
It would be amazing if someone could give me a list of the components I could get, capable of what I want:
-Motherboard
-Processor
-Power supply unit
-Hard disk
-Graphics card
My budget is £800 - £850 (so $1200 - $1300) excluding monitor (1920x1080) and keyboard etc.
Would be greatly appreciated if anyone could give me an idea of what to get.
Cheers guys.
Matt

Shogun 2 is a biatch for CPU's, I'm hoping (as are most of us) that Rome II is better balanced performance wise.

I'm upgrading to an FX 8 core 4gig+ after summer so I shouldn't have any problems.
If you get an i7 CPU with a GTX 670 you won't have any issues either, tbh you don't even need to go that high but that will give you a bit of headroom or if you insist on playing Ultra graphics it's a good set up.
