Hi Shaun

GPU(graphic card) is OK in this PC,plus memory in this PC is OK too,but i think CPU is not great i would go with Intel CPU

Here is few suggested PC(just be sure you have there i5 2xxx or i7 and at least 8GB RAM memory)

Xbox 720 won't be long, surely the gaming PC is dead.

The gaming pc is far from dead

Shaun, the key words you want are SATA3, USB3, intel i5/i7 (k chip which is unlocked and about 5 quid more than a locked one).
Avoid the AMD Bulldozer chips, not even close to a first gen i7, let alone a 3rd gen (or 2nd gen as seen on some of the other systems), its that bad a CPU that the older AMD chips match it in 90% of applications.

Build what pc you want then compare the prices for the parts

http://www.digitalpromo.co.uk/ Is another trusted site


Scan are a pain via broken not working parts via returns

The AMD chips arent that bad mate I am running a AMD phenom 2 1100t hexcore overclocked processor and water cooled in my gaming rig and
I am running all the newest and most damanding games on the highest setting's and it perform's amazing with no drop in framrate
and is as smooth as silk


The xbox 720 is rumored to get released at the end of 2013 so I have been
reading on well established game websites so it is still 2 years away
so the pc will still be running strong and when it is released the pc
will take a bit of a pounding but the thing about consoles is the hardware stays the same for the
lifecycle of the console and the pc is constantly getting better so it does not take long for the pc to get
up to speed with the consoles then overtake it in graphical power.

Trust me, not a patch on the i7 chips over clock one of those to 4.6ghz and not much see's it off, and the AMD Bulldozer chip is a huge flop in comparison, that bad that even AMD say its not a good chip (the older chips like yours keep up with it most of the time and those were not a match on the core 2 quads).

If you want a gaming rig, it can only be intel now.

Good choice Shaun


Just bought him good mouse and good keyboard,worse to play games with standard mouse(on some gaming mouses you can adjust weight,which is handy,plus you switch DPI),plus good keyeboard will be just good too
