First one it's sexy machine . Whats it's for gaming etc?

Edit: The second one is probably better and worth getting if you need all those other things mouse, monitor etc.

 

[bragor]

there both for gaming

 

[bragor]

i can buy the monitor, and the other stuff with the first one aswell.. jsut need to know which is best for gaming.

 

[Tysuro]

Budgets £1200 I guess read other thread you made?

 

[Sleinous]

2nd one, it has a PCI card, (use that up first, not PCI express) You dont need soundcard for gaming and other stuff, only for music production really.

X4 970 is a great cpu, GPUs more important for gaming.

Stick to one 6870, you can buy the second later.

Upgrade the PSU to an HX1000W

 

[bragor]

thanks alot

 

[bragor]

that was my in mind budget not actualy budgt was just checking

 

[Tysuro]

Slein is the best at making PC systems with a specific budget.

[bragor]

thats better than the 2nd one i posted?

 

[Tysuro]

Just changed the motherboard and the graphics card and added an SSD hardrive.

 

[bragor]

what for?????????????????

 

[PokerFace]

2nd one, it has a PCI card, (use that up first, not PCI express)

OMG, I think I'm actually learning something hanging around here! When I saw the build I thought "better order the PCI card not the PCIe, so you can use up the 'old legacy' slot first and have the PCIe free for future upgrades"....and they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks
