Yeah if i ordered it i get like 15% disscount on graphics card, though saying that still pretty good for computer display me thinks, I already have 32" TV for sky and that.

[Top-Tier-Tech]

that still pretty good for computer display me thinks,

I's joking That's a great monitor.

I was more concerned that it was 27" and only 1920x1080, I would expect at least 1200 on a screen that big.

Nice rig BTW, but you could have built it yourself for a lot less, I could show how much but it might break your heart so I won't but if you enjoy it who cares?

Hold on £240 on freaking MS Office? Are you mad? If you a student or know anyone that is you can get it a lot cheaper and Open Office is just as good and it's free!

I used to game on a 28" 1920x1200 monitor. Now I'm on a 40" 1920x1080 screen and the amount of viewspace you lose is minimal between the two resolutions.

I fully agree with you on Open Office. Seems how it does everything why would anyone pay money for the MS version...

Well i was going to build it on my own, however i priced it all up and it came to same similar price that and lack of detailed knowledge building it.

I have 4 days to cancel this order if I'm un-happy with it,If you say you can slash this price down by a great mile, if you could help me out and prepare it I'd appreciate it Freddie.

I don't need help building it since I've built a few computers including the one i own currently but i just don't really have a clue with all the high tech stuff what should work with what for maximum output if you know what i mean?

like buying a car, you learn where the parts go but don't have a clue what sort of performance parts you should get the to get the best out of it.

And the office thing is is i had student before hated it it's pretty much half of the final software package, I had 2000 pro so I thought id get the full package and then not have to worry about it for the next 3-6 years of my life lol. I detest open office i prefer having a full version of MS office and having the support with it.

most colleges dont accept open office formatted papers. So if you want to get a grade on your paper at all you have to us MS office.. unfortunate but true...

Are you trying to build a media centre PC? I've just noticed you have a TV card in there as well so I was wondering where is this PC going - the living room or the spare room/office?

Here's a custom spec PC I could build that with a mild overclock will give you the same performance as above but in reality a lot more to boot. In this rig I've included an SSD for a fast boots, faster game level loading times, snappier OS (apps just open instantly no more waiting around) and a 1Tb Samsung F3 Spinpoint for storage.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Yours is £2450 (once your take off £300 for the monitor) and mine is less then £1700 and I get free delivery to boot. Hell I could get another HD5870 and put it in godfire........sorry crossfire and it would still be £400 cheaper and you get a better case. I don't know what PSU that PC Specialist spec build you quoted is using but I'm using arguably the best PSU on the market oh and you get USB 3 and SATA 6 for future proofing. The only things your losing is the TV card, a bit of speed on the blu-ray, key board and mouse drive and the warranty, but you do get warranty with individual parts so it shouldn't be that much of a worry if something goes wrong. The bottom line is the above PC saves you £750 hard cash (and more if I down graded the sound card and lost the SSD) and you get a better PC to boot!

Freddy, awesome post as usual.

Thank you, I would love to build that PC even if it weren't for myself as I could get to see just how awesome that sort of hardware is like first hand.

You could always build it for Stason, you both live in the UK

Good point, however not that i have anything against the internet freddie, but for all i know he could be a Nigerian entrepreneur that uses old generation computers leftovers dumped on the shores of Africa...I joke Freddie

Freddie could more or less build a blueprint and then tell me where to buy the parts that way it's more or less building it.

I mean i know how to put it together, but i haven't a clue these days about what is good/bad/okay specifically i want a computer that i can keep for the next 3-6 years that will run games like empire or demanding strategy games on full pelt without not lag or mishaps.

I've never had a computer that's been able to do that, now i have a little money aside i want to get what i always wanted.

My limit so to speak is £2800 that's maximum i have and want to spend no more than, this includes any extras like monitor or cooling units, i don't want flashy lights or cases just something simple yet powerful.

[Freddie]

Just get the PC I suggested then and it get another HD5870 and them in crossfire mode, you have the money, the cards in stock and it won't disappoint you!
