I've a couple of ideas. For one: Combo of parts from new egg.
I'm also looking forward to playing Deus 3, so I'll want it up to par for that too.
I don't mind going a little over budget if the benefits are worth it.
Thanks in advance.

And that setup will definitely be great for all of the games listed, as the Video Card is a notch below mine (although my processor is better) and I can run everything on max settings.
Moreover, you might just be a touch wary about mixing ATI's with Intel Processors. I find those motherboards occasionally wonky.

I've not bought a desktop for years, and the new Graphics card and processor names are confusing me a little.=w= wrote:Are there any specific reasons you are buying a TV tuner and a Bluray disc drive? Because if there ain't, chop off a solid hundred from this price and get a standard DVD drive. (Plus the remote control. :/)

the deal offers $100 off, is the blu-ray still not worth it?
Saying that, I completely forgot I'm going to need a monitor too. I don't need anything fancy, but if anyone can suggest a decent package for around the price I mentioned (£100 on top if need be), it would be appreciated.

Blu-Ray might be worth it, depending on your use. The TV Tuner is definitely in excess unless you intend to use your desktop as a DVR.

If I'm going to go that route I'll probably just ebay it. Being lazy.Luminaflare wrote:Find a computer fair, I got all my hardware for this PC from their for a total of about £100 less than buying it from ebuyer etc.
