    Another Build Thread.......

    So its me bday coming up and I'm seriously considering a new pc for it, considering I've treated myself to bugger all this year and its been very stressful I think I deserve it..

    This is what I've currently got sat in scans basket, primary use is gaming with a little video editing that's about it really, budget is £1500 to £2000 including monitor os and keyboard.



    Need a sound card and network card adding also but not a clue what to go for lol. Also not sure on the PSU will most likely SLI down the road so was thinking a overkill 1200ax corsair unit, like the idea of being fully modular for cable neatness. Not sure on the monitor either, I see the dell 2311 getting plenty of recommendations but what's it like for gaming? Same with the SSD, will 60gb be enough or would i be better with a 120gb force 3?

    Any suggestions welcome please.

    I would consider getting a GTX570:

    AFAIK,the XFX unit should be fine for a pair of GTX570 cards.

    The HD6950 2GB and HD6970 2GB are also decent cards and the 2GB of VRAM might be useful especially of you want to run more monitors.
