Hey guys :D

I want to get a new computer for Christmas, I live in England so i cannot go to Newegg or anything like that, please bear that in mind.

I was thinking of getting the parts from Amazon, i am able to build the computer myself, however im not completely up to date with the newest hardware.

I have about £1000 to spend on this computer, its primary use is going to be for gaming, and i need space to upgrade in the future if possible, i want something amazing xD

If anyone has the time to post the links to the products they think i should get for my new system, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

David.

PS - I dont need an Operating System, i have Windows 7 ready for this system :)

Thanks guys.

I am currently using 2 monitors, a 19" and a 21" i think :)

Thanks for posting :)
 
not a problem. what are the native resolutions of each monitor? You could save some money by getting a cheaper GPU if your monitors(s) are limited to, say, 1280x1024 resolution or maybe 1680x1050.
 
Don't get parts from amazon, the shipping fee high.
Agree with above expect mobo
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4/ ASUS P6T

Try the google shopping search engine. It give you the cheapest online retailer.
 
Well if you are in windows vista/7 just right click anyhere on your desktop and select screen resolution. the recommended one is the native resolution.

The 21" or the 22" (i forget what size) has a recommended of 1680x1050.

The 19" doesn't appear to have a recommended :/

Also, what about the hard drive and optical drive xD
 
okay then, 1680x1050. you can get away with a 5770. I'm making you an updated build now.
