So I posted a thread ~ a month ago and received some help with the intent of building it the same weekend. Unfortunately life got in the way and my budget is still just sitting there un-used. Posting a new thread only because prices may have changed (possibly different things discounted or coming out) and well, more options can't hurt.
Budget: £1750-£1850 Resolution: 1920x1080 or better Games / Settings Desired: WoW at Ultra or near. Most modern games at high/ultra. Mostly using the computer for gaming. Also important is that it has enough juice to run a Minecraft server whilst also running the game. Any other intensive software or special things you do: Bits of audio and video editing for school (using Vegas). Would also like to be able to start recording gameplay footage. Country: UK, so UK prices/stores on parts if possible. Parts that can be reused: None. Do you need an OS?: Yes Do you need peripherals?: I would like a newer monitor so that I can run with 2, using my older one as a secondary possibly. This should be included in the budget.
(Not included in-budget, purchased seperately!) I also need a decent mouse and keyboard that don't make a lot of noise.
Function > Looks for me, so I don't need some "MLG" thing with LEDs and logos all over it that makes loads of noise and breaks after 5 months. I'd rather have a tough keyboard that looks plain but works well and doesn't sound like a type-writer.
If you wanted to spend a little less on the GPU you could try for a 280X but I opted out because they're usually not in stock anywhere or they're highly overpriced:
They claim 34 in stock which seems unlikely but you can try.
My suggestion for a keyboard would be a Microsoft Sidewinder X4 but I can't find it in stock anywhere or it's like £100 which is way over the top so I suggest you just go to a shop, try typing on different ones and pick one you like.
