Prince,
build your own PC, if you know how to but want to know which parts to get then PM me.
That computer to be honest aint too good. The processor rocks but thats about it.
Look here-
http://www.meshcomputers.com/updated...ascendapro.htm
Add a 7800GTX and upgrade the RAM to 2GB, also if you want a higher processor feel free to add it.
That will come to -1490 which beats the 1899 comp by miles.
Thats- 64 4200x2
2GB ram dual channel
7800gtx!Comment

Don't get the dual core (X2) processor. It's not meant for gaming, get a FX-55 or FX-57, and instead of Dual 6800 LE's, a single 6800 Ultra will own it. This is what I suggest.
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
At least 1.5 gb RAM
7800 GTXComment

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOriginally posted by Nitemare
Dual cores are not ment for gaming but they are cheaper than fx's!!!!
a 3500 cant support a 7800! get at least a 3800 if you want a 7800gtx!Comment

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual Core
Memory: 2048MB PC3200 DDR Memory 400MHz
Hard Drives: 300GB Serial ATA (150MB/s) Ultra Fast Hard Drive
Video Card: Upgrade to 2x 256MB nVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT - TV Out + DVI - PCI Express - SLI configuration at £200
Dose that seriously need upgrading? Tell me, using the uprading option on the mesh order form here.Comment

No such thing as a 6800GTX lol.
One 7800GTX beats 2x6800gts and 2x6800ultras.
(LE<Vanilla<GT<Ultra).
Get the 7800GTX.
Youre spending alot of money man. Aim for this setup bro.
AMD 64 X2 4200 OR HIGHER
2GB RAM
7800GTX (Dont get the GT, get the GTX).
Hopefully that should help you, if you have any more questions please PM me.Comment

Also here is something of what looks like a better deal-

My mate bought a MESH PC recently and he says the monitor is crap, so I dont know what you can do about that.
I also have a mesh (older one). :)Comment

Dude, 2 6800 gt are not very good in SLi considering price vs. performance. One 7800 GTX is better or just get 2x6600 GTs and save some money. I can assure that building a computer is fun and VERY easy. Everything is included in the motherboard manual. I have a freind who's 50 year old mom with no technology knowledge built one.
Look up all those items on Overclockers.co.uk, you will see that they will be cheaper and perform a lot better. It includes a 19" monitor, speakers, keyboard, and a gamer mouse. You can buy a joystick if you need/want:
You can look them up on overclocker.co.uk using these names:
Asus A8N SLi Deluxe
AMD 3800 Venice
Corsair 2gb XMS
Enermax 535w
Wave master Blue Coolermaster
Creative Sound Blaster
7800 GTX (get the cheapest brand, they are almost identical although it's XFX<BFG<EVGA in customer service) Also if you are interested, I have a brand new MSI 7800 GTX which I can sell through ebay assuming you are willing to pay in money order, becasue that is all I accept on international orders. I can sell for 264 GBP, PM me if you are interested and give me an offer. I have two for sale, at 510 GBP. All orders must be placed by money order or Bidpay.
200gb SATA
Logitech Media
Logitech Mx510
Samsung 19" LCD Monitor
X-530 Logitech
NEC Dual Layer ReWriter (get two of these if you have cash to burn)
DO NOT GET THE DUAL CORES PROCESORS, the Venice and San Diego cores (yes even the 3200) will outperform them severely in games. I am a benchmark guru, I would know. Companies just market them as two cores better than one which is utter ********.Comment
-
As you can see one 7800 GTX dominates even two 6800 Ultras. Atleast in that benchmark, in other it is a bit slower in some cases. I can assure it destroys two 6800 GTs and definently anything lower than that.Comment
-
I added them all to the cart and got 1590 GBP including VAT. This is using another pair of speakers (then the X-530 which is what you should buy, same price though) and the price they have for thier 7800 GTXs. If you buy from me you can probably get dual 7800 GTX for under 1800 GBP.
Or you can get a second 19" monitor if you buy from me one 7800 GTX. Your total would be around 1700 GBP.Comment

I posted a link on 7800GTX and CPU benchmarks, the 3000 with a 7800 only had 1 less FPS than a 7800 with a FX-55. It will not bottleneck it.Comment

That is not entirely true. That is with the assumption that the 3000 overclocked and the 3800 is not. You can get those3800 Venice cores to like 3.2 GHX with Vapochill etc. Anyhow lets stay on topic and get this guy the best deal. I think most people would agree with me that what I posted is the best solution for him.
If he wants, he can substitue the 3800 for a 3700 and save some money or purchase another monitor or a bigger one.Comment

Resolutions that are way too high for anything smaller than a 21"+ monitor. When you bring it down to more real world benchmarks like at 1024, 1280 and 1600 the 6800GT SLI does beat the single 7800GTX in most tests although not all.

And here http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_cont...7800gtx&page=9
So then I suppose it becomes more a question of cost. You could get 2 6800GT's say from ebay for £350 for both. A 7800GTX would cost around £370 new so it's pretty close. If you have that one for sale at £260 then that's a better buy I suppose.
Also the 3000+ Venice can be oc'ed to 3800+ speeds easy on a decent aircooler so it would be cheaper to get that as they are only £88 and a 3800+ is £235. I wouldn't bother with a sound card unless it's an Audigy 2 or better. Standard soundblasters are no better than onboard sound.
Dual core CPU's may be useless now but they are useless because no games take advantage of them. Unreal Engine 3 apparently does so when those games start hitting the shelves you will see the benefit. It means you can dedicate 1 whole core to AI for instance while the other does everything else. This is why the PS3 and XBOX 360 have multi core CPU's. Still the question is, is it worth buying now and I'd say not at that price.Comment
