oh... prebuilt.. mmm
You could try saving money on the monitor by getting an iiyama CRT over an LCD? :e
might be 200-300£, might be less. might be that the parts are just bad for the money, so you dont directly lose money but you do lose performance.
look on http://gladiatorcomputers.com
latest one was 1300 in september there, included :
150gb Raptor ( 10krpm) 500gb WD( 7.2krpm)
Creative Xtreme X-Fi Gamer
XFX 8800 Ultra 768mb
2048mb ddr2 pc8500 Patriot
but u dont need to buy a pr built system, u can request a custom build, tell em what u want and thenthey will get back to ya with a price.
so if u skimp back on them ( never mind the ultra which was 400 )
it'll be well under 1000 :)
ram - £40 (could probably even go cheaper, thats XMS2 which isn't really needed)
Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB GDDR3 - £225
PSU - Corsair VX ( ~ £50)
p35 mobo - ~ £60
some CPU cooling - ~ £10-£15
total: ~ £523
just needs a case and monitor :<
if worsts comes to worst i can just buy parts separate and build it myself
if you DO decide to build it yourself, I recommend taking your old machine apart and putting it back together a couple of times
also, manuals are your friend, never skip anything if it's your first build
+ Scythe INFINITY SCINF-1000 MUGEN
Ram DDR2 Crucial PC6400 800 2GB kit (1GBx2) Ballistix 240-pin
WD 500 Gb SATA300 , 7200, WD5000AACS, 16MB cache SATA-II/300 GREEN
Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP , P35
BFG GeForce 8800GT OC2 512MB GDDR3 2-DVI PCIe
or you can take off af / aa or lower some other settings to get stable 125fps
yerman prices :f anyway good specs
