Sooo...

Any recommendations?

Still need to add a GPU and a monitor. Thinking of the Nvidia 660 but not sure what model yet and a 24'' monitor at 1920*1080

Haha you miss your pc?

[MAF]Snoopy · « **Reply #4 on:** November 19, 2012, 10:14:11 pm »

Nooo my old PC pretty much sucked

and now I have quite a lot of money to make a better one. I just don't know if I should buy one which is more expensive or build one. I don't want to spend more than £600 but it's getting close to £800 with a graphics card and monitor. Don't know what to do

http://pcpartpicker.com/ is quite good for this kind of thing, especially as it seems overclockers charges more for everything

your conf. is ok but i suggest you to take 1600 MHZ memory instead of 1333. Also for a SSD Disk look at Samsung 830 , at the moment it's one of the best.

Ge-force 660 it's ok , but if you are planning to play on full hd resolution Radeon HD 7850/7870 is the best way to go.

Thinking about getting this and just making a case swap. Antec 300 is so old and dated now.

I really can't be arsed building this time around

Unless somebody can recommend me a good enough gaming PC for around £500. Then I can just buy a monitor and hopefully spend around £650. Don't want to go any higher

that videcard is very weak...it might not be able to max out samp...

[MAF]Jur1z · « **Reply #12 on:** November 20, 2012, 03:39:11 pm »

Snoopy coming back?

Btw what monitor brand you suggest? i was thinking to get new monitor for me too with 1920x1080

ЯYӨƧЦKΣ · « **Reply #13 on:** November 20, 2012, 03:50:20 pm »

get a gtx 670 instead , gtx 660 and 670 price gap isn't big ( not sure about UK ) , and it will last you at least next 2-3 years compared to the 660/660ti

lol just use the adjustment gloves that come with the monitor when you want to move it

[MAF]Snoopy · « **Reply #25 on:** November 21, 2012, 08:36:56 am »

I've never had those with any monitor I purchased.

7970 came out with some new drivers and instantly beat GTX 680.

Really interesting article, read all the pages!

The most interesting stand out from this evaluation has been the NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti, which is priced significantly higher than the Radeon HD 7870 while turning in similar performance numbers. The GTX 660 Ti has lost its value at this point in time, lending way to the Radeon HD 7950 which has benefited from falling prices and new drivers.
