Can anybody find the best gaming pc deal for <£900?

Dillon

Ok can anybody find me the best gaming pc deal for under £900 with a monitor keyboard and mouse included?

This is my current deal and I might leave it for a month or two due to the high hdd prices.


AeroCool X-Predator Evil Black/Orange Full Tower Chassis
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
8GB Corsair Vengeance Red (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit -
MSI Z68A-G43-B3 Intel Z68 (REV B3) Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard
850W Corsair TX850 V2 ATX2.3 SLI/Crossfire Compliant Power Supply
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP1, Operating System, Single, - OEM 22" Arianet MN22AOCF22+ Widescreen LCD Monitor

Ok so all in all this is around 940 and I would like to see if anybody could find a better deal for the UK or Ireland.
Actually 960 INCLUDING A HDD AND P+P from Aria.co.uk
C-man I plan to have this computer for a really long time and I might crossfire the 6870 or sell it (in a year) and crossfire some of the newer cards as the mobo is crossfire compatible

Answer
That seems like a great deal. I suppose you could make an argument for this:

I was able to configure a build with:

Cooler master Sileo 500 case
Asus PH867-M motherboard
Core i5 2500K
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1gb
8gb Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600Mhz
Corsair TX650
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
22" Widescreen LCD monitor

for 942.

I went lower-end in areas which don't really affect gaming performance (psu capacity, mobo, case, RAM speed) in order to upgrade from the GTX 560/Radeon HD 6870 level to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti.

It's fully configurable so play with the options. If you're not going to overclock, getting a Core i5 2500 or even 2400 makes sense, because that frees up more cash to allocate on the GPU side.

Even a 550W Corsair/Antec/Seasonic psu is enough for a Radeon HD 6950 so why exhaust your budget on the 850W?

I think Aria is offering incredible value for the money, but your GPU is the most important component for gaming performance and that's where you'd want to splurge, not on the mobo, psu, case etc.

Building a Gaming Computer?

Hi i am 14 and i want to build my very own Gaming computer

preferences: i want to be able to play Minecraft on MAX setting and be able to record it with fraps, i also want windows 7, i need a good enough cooling unit to be able to leave it on for 2-3 days straight... Also (this is pretty Important) i only want to spend up to £500, would this be ok,
Thanks, Alex

Answer
500 pounds is fine for a gaming PC, especially for minecraft.
You'll need these parts at least, ordered from most to least important for gaming:
-Graphics card
-Processor
-RAM
-Harddisk
-Motherboard
-Power supply
-Case (with fans)

The graphics card is what creates the image on your screen. You can get a great graphics card for about 100 pounds. I'll take the HD6770 as an example, which costs 92 pounds on amazon. You can get better cards, but this one will be more than enough for casual gaming including minecraft.

Processors are the "brain" of the computer. Fast processors make a computer do things fast. AMD recently released a nice new processor: The AMD FX-4100. It's a decent performing quadcore processor for the low price of 80 pounds.

RAM isn't really that important as long as you have enough. 4GB is enough, there is no need for more. Just get 1 time 4GB or 2 times 2GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM. It's cheap, it's good and better isn't exactly much faster, so don't bother for better. The price: 20 pounds.

The harddisk is where computer data is stored, as you may know. Slow harddrives will result in long loading times, which makes people sad. You can buy a 500GB or 1TB harddrive with your budget. This should cost around 60-80 pounds. No need for something more expensive.

Motherboard doesn't contribute to performance. You just have to make sure it works with all your other parts. If you'd go for the AMD FX-4100 processor, which is a socket AM3+ processor, you NEED a socket AM3+ motherboard to go with it. Always match your CPU and motherboard, otherwise it won't work. You can get motherboards as cheap as 40 pounds, which really are all you might need. Don't bother spending more than 80 pounds on a motherboard, you probably won't need it.

You'll obviously need a case to hold your parts. You probably should get a midi tower. It's big enough, but not too big like big towers. You can get decent enough cases for 30 to 80 pounds, around 50 pounds should provide you a nice case though.

Now for the power supply. Around 350/400W should be fine for this setup, which should cost you around 20-50 pounds. Assuming 40 pounds for now. It doesn't really matter what PSU you buy, as long as it provides enough Watts, it's fine.

Final step: Windows 7. You can pirate it or buy it, ill assume you buy it for now. Home Premium will cost you around 110 pounds. Don't bother getting a better version, it's a waste of money.

To add things up:
Graphics card: 100
CPU: 80
RAM: 20
Motherboard: 50
Harddisk: 80
PSU: 40
Case: 50
Windows: 110
Total: 530 pounds. A little over your budget, but i can't be assed to change everything i got now to fit into the 500 pounds budget. It will run any game, though newer games on lower settings. Cooling isn't a big problem with these components, so you can play games for 3 days straight if you'd want to.

I'd recommend you to look some computer building tutorials and tips on google. You're fine with what i listed above here, but you might want to change some things like getting a better graphics card, or a better CPU.
