Morning everybody!
I'm planning to buy a new gaming desktop in a few weeks time to replace my current Dell XPS M1330 laptop which just can't handle the latest games at all - it's a portable laptop so it's not really a great suprise!
I've been looking around online at all the different online stores for a gaming desktop (base unit only) that will be able to play the Sims 3, Fallout 3, Farcry 2 etc. on full graphics on a 22" monitor. I also don't want to buy another one for a few years so one that can be upgraded or will handle future games would be ideal. I just have no idea about buying computers (this will be my second) so I don't know whether I'm being ripped off or not so any help would be great.
I have in mind from wired2fire.co.uk:
Case: CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000
Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower 600W
Processor: Core i7 920 8MB Cache Socket 1366 (they overclock it from 2.66 to 3.6GHz)
Graphics Card: Radeon HD4890 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express
Memory: 6GB Corsair DDR3 1333MHz C9 Triple Channel
Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58 UDR3 Socket 1366
Along with a bluray drive, surround sound speakers and home premium, it comes to £1349.00.
I'm pretty sure that this is a really good setup but I'ts really expensive and I don't know if it's a rip off or if it's just over the top for what I want out of it or maybe not?
Any advise?
Cheers,
