[Tech] Fury want's a new pc!

[SgtFury]

Hey all,

Thought I would pull on the combined knowledge of The Haven IT experts again. I'm looking to buy myself a new computer, I think I have a buyer for my old one at the moment (once he gets back to me ) so will probably be buying this before christmas. What I am after:

i5 core
>4GB RAM
good graphics card
desktop unit only

for less than £850. Now the iConquer from Novatech fits the bill, but I am wondering what else is out there from UK suppliers.

Any tips?

Assuming you don't need any other peripherals, I would go with what Silk put up there. Remember to add Windows 7 to the order (unless you already have it and can transfer it over...)

So is it any good?

Is it any good?..... hmmm let me think about that.....

IT's Bloody AMAZING!!

*ahem*

Wow at ultra it steams through... although I had to drop the viewing distance down in deepholm, since seeing too many pillars reforming themselves confused it.

TF2 I was getting fps of 200 odd and was smooth as silk.

Fallout vegas, also seems smooth and good quality.

Need to try DX11 settings on Wow but so far loving it.

Got 2 fans in it the size of a hoover, but quieter than my other PC. Definetly glad I decided to spend a bit more than I usually do. Thanks for pointing it out Silkth.

O yeah the bonus bit was I got a copy of Cataclysm free with it. Good thing too because my amazon order still hasn't arrived.
