Can someone tell me if everything here is ok? I'm a noob who wants an amazing rig :)

[kylhan]

O.K I have about £3-4 thousand to spend on a new P.C and don't really know what to get. Was hoping someone could recommend a setup for the price I have in mind.

Thanks in advance!

firstly,

1 - what's it for?
2 - Gaming? multi screen? 3 screens? more?
3 - 3d gaming?
4 - video / picture editing?

You could get a very good gaming rig for less than £2000 and just upgrade in 2/3 years time. SLI GTX 690 may still have some scaling issues, a GTX 670 2gb SLI will allow you to game in 3D without any issues and give you +60fps in 2D gaming.

This is more than capable of 3d gaming on 3 monitors & if your spending this sort of money I assume that's what you wanna do.

Hi all

Yer I'm wanting purely for Gaming. I got quite a bit of money from my previous employer for unfair dismissal, so I wanted to treat myself to an amazing p.c. But it's been that long since I got involved with p.c gaming I'm not really up on it anymore, so your input is much appreciated!!

If the pc is for 3d 3 monitor gaming definitely go with a 4gb card like the 680 or buy 2 4gb 670's separately and install them it's as hard as putting an old game cartridge in, The 690 is an awesome card but its a duo card so its 2X 2gb not 4gb and will not be good for 3d 3 monitor gaming. This is what I would get.

Yer it's for gaming n yes I will need a monitor too. I'm just not sure what to go for as I haven't kept up to date with p.c tech in the last few years.

 

[kylhan]

When I had a quick look earlier this is pretty identical to the spec I choose Thanks for the input!
