Pc for £600??

[Ant1]

Looking for a new or 2nd PC for about £600. All i use it for is games + surf. That's it. Would be nice to have something that i could run cod4 on full res.

Any ideas?

This one is gd! purchased it a couple of weeks ago, I can run games like Flight Simulator X on it with no problem on ultra high graphic settings.. highly recommended as it also has a Blu Ray/HD DVD reader n Dual Layer DVD/CD Writer. (it's v quiet too)

You can get it with the screen

or without it for £399

I'm sorry, that's b****cks. You can't run FSX on ultra high on a GeForce 7100. If you turn everything up high on my two 8800GTXs then it struggles on a 1680x1050 screen.

Well I ran mine on 1440x900 on ultra high absolutely fine

My brother has a HP Pavilion for sale? You interested? Only thing it would need is a new graphics card, the rest is rapid. Branded Low Latency Ram, 3.4Ghz Dual Core ASUS Board, LightScribe DVDRW.

Ant - is that price to include a monitor or not?

Well that's not the resolution of the monitor you posted... And I suspect you turned just about all traffic off to get that to work...

 

[Scottydog]

Yeah the traffic isn't ultra high because I find it annoying. We didn't buy the base unit and the screen, just the base unit.

That'd explain it - as my laptop can play it at those resolutions with high traffic and ultra detail, but when I get it to native (1920x1200) you can tell it's nearly on the limit.
