is it a good setup? it costs £1100

what would you say a computer like this is capable of? and what is intel viiv? is it the same as the normal dual core cos ive never seen it called viiv anywhere before.

thanks everyone :cool:
 
Well, so far everything looks perfect to me, except if you're going to be playing the latest games and you like to play games at max, i would get a different video card like a X1950XTX or something alike at least, or wait until the 8800's come down in price... just and observation. :)
 
thanks for the input.

and i dunno if you missed the bit at the bottom but id be very grateful if you could help with the other questions too -

thanks so much
 
Oh my b, lol didn't see that. Well, that PC will definately work for gaming! it pretty much works for everything, (except graphics design) you could look at it as a media center pc...

And as far as the viiv thing, i really dont know for sure, but as far as i know, its just say a version of the CPU which works better with dual core CPUs. again dont take this as a fact...

Hope that helped... :D
 
its pretty much the same as mine except with a better cpu and gpu. ive read that the viiv is meant for multimedia and media center . it is fine for graphics design on programs like photoshop and flash
