£700 hmmm. Although you could get the bits cheaper that Overclockers. You could probably get it under £600 using the AMD route instead of Intel. Above build needs a CPU cooler though, I'd get a Coolermaster 212 for about £20.

Just slap a 2nd hand 280x in that and you're set to go.

 

[lee M4RSH]

hmm not bad. are we saying amd are worse than intel now? whats the advantages / disadvantages?

Ive been out the game too long. Last GFX card i bought was a GT8600 :/

 

[GiT]

AMDs for me became progressively more unreliable.

So went Intel and never looked back. i7 4770k now and it's awesome.

 

[lee M4RSH]

last pc i had was an amd phenom II and that just broke..... constantly.

 

[Keydogg]

So much awesome nostalgia in here!

Not that I don't believe you, but how does a CPU break constantly? Surely once and it's done.

 

[Addicted]

I used to play loads, not so much anymore, CS:GO is w**k the random bullets piss me off.

I meant the pc as a whole was always breaking.
Was just saying it was a phenom II.

If you want a decent competitive FPS these days I recommend Shoot Mania Elite. It's insane

 

[MicKPM]

I spent many years playing this game but gave up when Source was released. I loved it

I've played this but I found it boring after a while. Just never grabbed me for some reason!

 

[Mavez]

Was never really into CS, but Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory best FPS ever.

 

[bb55am]

I play source now, played in a few leagues on 1.6 back in the day, stopped playing as much when our clan disbanded. Was ace being in a clan playing competitively.

He's insanely good at it

 

[Keydogg]
