New Computer

[Nightrider]

Hey,

As it's my birthday soon, i've asked my dad to get me a new Pc, I've found what i think is a half decent one but would like your views before i order it. (got upto 600GBP to spend on one)

it'll be used for gaming (obviously) for BF3,SWTOR (when its released) few other high spec games (99% sure should be able to run them on max)

GTX 560 ti is a good GPU. You'll be able to max out more or less everything thats out now (at 1080p or lower) excluding Metro 2033.

But it depends on what resolution your talking about, BF3 @ 1080p on a GTX 560ti will probably be High - Very High settings.

I know nothing about AMD lol. Ram is overkill lol, but whats wrong with that?! It's cool as ****!

Definately a good computer, but you can always get a better one if you build yourself! That being said, that computer probably cost them about £525-550 to make so they aren't robbing your money like Dell for instance!

They're probably using like Mushkin, who though cheap, are respectable.

And yeah, I built a computer for around £600/700 which is obviously much better.

Night, you should try going on build your own PC websites.

Buy parts, build it yourself.

Seriously I can't believe people buy premade machines...

my first machine was manually built and i spent around £2k and then i purchased a prebuilt computer for £3k and apart from the graphics card my old comp is much better and more stable
