Gaming PC

[ShadowBlaze]

Hello, can anyone give me specs for a really good gaming pc, really fast, with office and windows 7 and a monitor please (i would try make my own spec but i know i wouldn't be realistic with the budget lol) my budget is £2000-£3000 anything within there i want to have good memory but basically i want it to run games at highest setting and have 60+ fps with it on every game on a single monitor (i think there are a lot that can achieve this on a single monitor), thank you

will the 2gb gtx 680 handle games at their highest setting and maintain 60fps+?

 

[keynes]

will the 2gb gtx 680 handle games at their highest setting and maintain 60fps+?

For your budget, if you wish to get +60 fps on demanding games you could get 2xGTX 670.

 

[ShadowBlaze]

ahh so would be able to handle metro 2033 in ultra or should i get a gtx 690 (for future games as well)

2 x GTX 670 offers close performance to a single GTX 690 and it is significantly cheaper, if money is not an issue 2xGTX 680 will outperform a gtx 690.

Just http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-690-benchmark,3193-11.html

They are cheaper though

 

[ShadowBlaze]

I'll stick with either the 2x 670 or 690, 690 has lower power consumption and noise from what I've read on reviews, thanks, is there any more improvements that could be made on vanthus selection?

[ShadowBlaze]

Anyone there lol?

 

[Wolvo7]

Looks ace Although with your budget I'd get the 240GB SSD just so you have extra space to store games on it if you play a lot of different games at the same time. Not essential though it's up to you.

 

[ShadowBlaze]

What you mean at the same time, like 2-3 games open at once? naa i only open one at once then close it and open other etc

 

[vanthus]

Can't imagine playing lots of different games at the same time,
think Wolvo means having lots of games installed at the same time.

 

[ShadowBlaze]

Ohh right, in that case then naa i only install an app one at a time

 

[Wolvo7]

Yeah that's what I meant lol for example I can play BF3, AC or ME3 depending on my mood, so I'd have all 3 games installed on the SSD and choose which one I wanna play each day till I finish them.

 

[baron75mk2]

I max out all my games at 60 fps with two GTX 680s - but not metro 2033 , its a horribly optimized game indeed , but everything else is fine though , if your looking for raw power then two GTX 680s will out perform one GTX 690 (but not by a hell of a lot really)

Yeah i've looked it only has like 3-4 fraps more than gtx 690 and i think that gtx 690 consumes less power and makes less noise than 2 gtx 680s?

 

[Mango(MarkWright)]

You'll want to go for 2 680's mate, you'll get way better performance than a 690, I wouldn't worry about noise, and you only need a 850w PSU to power 2 680's I VERY HIGHLY recommend 2 680s.
