Someone build me a PC!!

[maforduk]

Hi everyone,
I am wondering how much it would cost for someone to build me a PC with what I want.
Basically to play BF2 with everything maxed out.

I want:
-Intel 3.7Ghz Extreme Edition P4 with Hyper-Threading (FSB Speed: 1066MHz)
-SLi PCi-E Dual Twin Graphics XFX GeForce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3
-4GB Corsair DDR2-6400
-**BRAND NEW** Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS
-Sony DWQ28AB2 16x DVD±RW Dual Layer
-Samsung 16x48 DVD Rom
-674GB of Hard Drive Space: Western Digital WD740GD Raptor 74GB Serial ATA 10,000rpm 8mb Cache which your Windows XP will be installed onto. Western Digital WD3000JD Caviar Special Edition 300GB 7200rpm
-Truecontrol Ii 550p Gb 550w Atx12v V2.01 Psu With Control Panel that Fits into A 5.25 Bay To Adjust Voltage & speeds
-Black Nitro ATX Tower Case

I have a price of about £2,999...can this be beaten?

Re: Someone build me a PC!!

if you dont mind the suggestion, i reccomend the FX57 (or atleast an AMD Chip) i had intels P4 3.6ghz with 7800SLI and it gave me 8300 on 3dmark05 as soon as i put the FX57 in there bam 12000 score. also there are benchmarks that give AMD the clear edge over gaming. my specs in sig plays it maxed out with 90-100fps all for £2000 eaaaaasily under £2500

check the benchmarks out http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/2005...06.html#opengl

Re: Someone build me a PC!!

Hey I have a auction up on ebay that would be a awesome rig for BF2 it is AMD based though. I could make it Dual core for 300 more that the winning bid the reserve is 1200 and it is close to that now. the auction # is 6809886015 very nice and it is water cooled brand spanking new too. later all check it out.

Re: Someone build me a PC!!

It was an actual question for them to build it, but more of a question on what they thought of it for that price etc! :)

Re: Someone build me a PC!!

Re: Someone build me a PC!!

Try these people: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/

They build to order all of their machines and I got mine from them about 10 days ago. This is what I got for £842:

Athlon 64 San Diego 3700 (1MB Cache)
Huge Gigabyte CPU cooler with neon lighting
1GB Samsung Dual PC3200 RAM (2x512MB)
Asus A8N-E nForce 4 motherboard
Hitachi 160GB SATA hard disk 7200rpm 8MB cache
Sapphire Radeon X800XL 256MB PCI-E graphics
Lite On DVD & DVD Dual Layer Writer (2 drives)
Silent 550W PSU
Windows XP Home

I haven't been able to find a cheaper system anywhere with the freedom of choosing just about any component that you want. If they don't offer a particular component that you want from their drop-down list, you just request it when you order it and they get it for you- Can't ask more than that really. :)
