To capture HD gameplay you may need to install a specialist capture card, which can be quite expensive. What input do you intend to use to capture the gameplay? HDMI, DVI?

Yes im hoping for Hdmi capture, i know about HDCP but they are many cards that still work, i will be capturing xbox360 gameplay

For a decent HDMI capture card, you're looking at something like this: http://www.sirentechnology.co.uk/product_info.php?currency=GBP&products_id=550

I can re-work your specification to include this card in the price if you like?

You will need to but the card separately and send this to us to install.

This specification comes to £589 including VAT and delivery, and you'll have about £150 to spend on the capture card.

Are you sure about the standard cooler?/ and is thier any other specific cooling needed?

 

[zacbed]

Is thier anypoint of getting this hd graphics card if theres allready one built in? i dont see the purpose as i will no be gaming on this pc

 

[PCS]

I removed the extra coolers to keep within your budget. The system will be fine with the standard coolers, but obviously better cooled with a more advanced cooler.

If you're planning to use this PC for editing videos/images captures from games, then a dedicated GPU is recommended. Expecially for programs like Photoshop ,etc.
