hi guys, i'm bored of the Xbox 360 so i just want a cheap gaming pc for now that out performs it.

I refuse to spend more than £600. (my spec build comes to £597)
here is a basic spec list.
  • Case COOLERMASTER ELITE 310 BLUE CASE
  • Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i3-2100 Dual Core (3.10GHz, 3MB Cache) + HD Graphics
  • Memory (RAM) 4GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 2GB)
  • Graphics Card 1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 - DVI,HDMI,VGA - 3D Vision Ready
  • Memory - 1st Hard Disk 500GB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7,200rpm)

I will be running at 1366X768
run new games at high (not max) ?

Does this just include the PC or does it include things like monitor, keyboard and mouse as well?

Im just gonna throw this out there, I reckon the current generation of games eg battlefield bad company 2 you can get high settings, the next generation eg battlefield 3 I reckon medium settings, both at 60 FPS. Try upgrading the CPU

Tbh i don't think BC2 will do quite that well but it might and BF3 well i don't think that will get near 60FPS with that setup, anyway most people are happy as long as the FPS is about 25 or above and you should be good for that (no guarantee though)

my friend has the i3 2100.. and the GTX 460.. and SOMEHOW.... it plays crysis on full settings (but about 25-30 fps.. still as good as xbox though?) so I think you should be okay. It's going to be better than your xbox so you'll be happy! :) it's still a good setup for medium gaming.

Well it will definitely perform reasonably above the min requirements for BF3! Maybe medium settings at 40 FPS or so, bear in mind the gameplay trailers so far have all had great FPS and were on high settings using a 580.
