This is slightly off topic, however

Please restrict the constant "Get 2 GTX 670's" on peoples posts and inaccurate suggestions on some peoples threads, just because you have lots of money to spend doesn't mean you can misguide people into buying hardware which is unnecessary for them, I've seen alot of posts, yes you may call it different peoples opinions, but alot of things you have suggested aren't suitable.

Like when you said the GTX 670 is better than the AMD 7970, with no evidence, which was what the OP was looking for, which is also totally dependant on the game you play and if you SLI/ Crossfire them, the only time the GTX 670 is a clear and better investment is when you SLI them compared with a Crossfire 7970

Doesn't mean you have to spend it, especially since I believe you said it was your mothers money, she is being very nice to you, be nice to her, leave her with some money :).

Sam thanks for the feedback, and in most of my posts about the GTX 670, I recommend 2 of them if you have the money.

Still a waste of money if you don't need them,whether it be two or three GPU'S,and whether you have plenty of money or not.Didn't you tell me you're 12 years old?,lol,how much pocket money do you get.:)

Arguably humans can't see any differences from 30+ Fps

And I believe this to be fairly accurate, as the big 3 console builders run their games at 30FPS, and they wouldn't be doing so without research.
I thought the main reason people move from console to PC was to get those extra graphical details that are lacking on consoles?

Also for that still ridiculous budget of 2.1k, consider investing in a better warranty as with this sort of PC you don't want it grinding to a halt after a year, although Intel is very reliable, I usually go about by thinking that the more advanced and complex my computer is, the more there is to go wrong, and there's more money at risk.

You know I'm actually doing work to get this money right? Over years of working and helping the family business, my Mum has finally given me a great budget (She is now letting me have £4500 which I will agree is a lot) I would expect to have a amazing PC that will last me a great amount of time! This is a one time thing my Mum is giving me and she will not let me keep the rest! So I am now choosing all the parts I need for a good few years.


(Sam, it's very arguable, but once you have been playing with 30FPS on a game for a bit, then you see 60FPS you're like woah!)

I think the point people are trying to make is that you do not need to spend 4.5k to get a PC that will last for quite a while, the 2.1k spec from Tiberias will be perfectly fine (plus possibly a longer warranty as suggested by samwil), at the speed technology goes no matter what you buy now or what you spend, it will be outdated within the next 5 years, so there really is no point in spending 4.5k on a machine (noting that I've bought a house recently and spent less than that on stamp duty and solicitors fees!)
