Help building a new PC needed? £1000 budget!

[SuperMorto]

Hi all,

I need a little helkp building a new PC, its been a while since I was up to date with the current tech on the market so was wondering what your ideas are for building a new PC tower?

I have a few things first:

I have my monitirs, 3 of them, 2x FullHD Sharp TV's and a Dell monitor, so I need 2 good cards, that will run 3 monitors.

I have my Razor Blackwidow keyboard and Razor mouse.

So all I need is a shit hot tower.

Im not to fussed about flashy lights, just the hardware.

And windows 7 operating system. Not sure if professional or home is best, im still on XP now. And im sure I can get it for about £60.

That leaves £940

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Morto.

Oh and another thing, I would like a solid state HDD for the operating system

[SuperMorto]

Oh and just realised this should be in the Tech forum, can the mods move it for me? Thanks,

Morto.

Please answer the questions in this thread in that format. I'll help you out once you do.

go to Newegg.com. spec and balance in dollars, will cost about the same in pounds. Then buy the stuff in the UQ. (you don't have a kingdom, a king is usually required for that.)

Firstly thanks for the reply folks

here are the questions answered.....

1. What is your budget and does that include shipping/taxes?

Total budget is £1000

2. Where do you live?

United Kingdom (Durham)

3. What do you need this computer to do (like gaming, Photoshop, and so on)?

Run 3 monitors at full HD - stream PS2, Record PS2, edit videos, run multiple progs at any one time, edit music, edit all other media (like images etc)

4. What parts will you need for the computer? Please list what parts specifically.

The tower and internals only

5. Are you reusing any parts for this computer? If so please say what parts.

N/A

6. What kind of monitor/resolution do you have or want to get to use for the computer?

2 Sharp Full HD TVs @ 1824x1028, 1 Dell running @1280x1024, I may purchase a 3rd Sharp for a 3rd monitor.

7. Do you have a legit OS? If so what OS and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

I will need a new copy of the operating system you recommend, im guessing Windows 7?

I can't really recommend anything till you know within a couple weeks of ordering the computer. Any recommendations done lets says 6-8 weeks from now likely will not be the same by then.

[SuperMorto]

All im after is some advice m8, like do I need a i7?, do I need 2 graphics cards?, so I need 16 or 8 gb of ram? It seems your advice is based on pricing not tech?.....

[SuperMorto]

I not really into price wars.... I just need to know what will work well together, for the apps I need?.....

[Goku]

Well thats what I mean. Bulldozer and Sandy Bridge - E are coming out by Christmas time. There is a high possibility of new AMD graphics cards coming out that will trump anything currently on the market. Any advice I give you at this point in time will likely not be up to date. Price is major yes, but with new tech coming it throws everything out the window. To be honest prices have for the most part been stagnant the past year unfortunately. Thats why I do not want to piece together a new build only to have to redo a new one when you are really ready to order. Piecing builds together over a period of months is not the way to build a computer either.

[SuperMorto]

Thanks m8, but all I want is something that will cope with my requirements. Im not to fussed on what is the latest model. I can get systems with the i7 for about £700, but I want the best bang for my buck (£) currently.

So whatever is good just let me know m8, and ill go out and but it.

Im more than sure the i7 extreme is the best on the market, if im worn correct me, but if this is the case, then ill build something round that....

[SuperMorto]

Whatever you think right now will do, if I order later I will adjust, Im just not sure what is good anyomore. So the help will be great.

So if you had £1000 what would you buy right now for my needs?

thanks,

Morto.
