(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So basically i want a PC that costs no more than £600/900$, It has to be able to run cod4 at 125fps on max settings and minecraft on the highest settings at atleast 100fps whilst being able to record with fraps, and the site which you build it on has to be able to ship to The Republic of Ireland or the UK if Ireland isnt an option. =D Good luck.

couple questions

Are you looking for it to be able to play BF3 and such in the future or just the things you requested?
Any GPU/ CPU preferences?
When are you buying it?
Any site preferences? (if not Ill use scan.co.uk or debs.ie)
Do you need peripherals? (mouse, keyboard, monitor, OS)

I want the PC to come with Win7 64bit on it, don't need a monitor or mouse and keyboard, use what ever site you think is cheapest but 700 euro is my max, i'd like to be ale to play all the new games coming out on it but the only game i want high fps on are minecraft and cod4 aslong as i get around 60 on other games it's fine. Not sure if there will be anywhere that it can be built that cheap that ships to Ireland, i know off iBuypower you can get a i5 2500k 3.3ghz cpu, NVIDIA GeForce gtx 560 Ti GPU, and 4GB ram and all the other good stuff for about 900$ but, unfortunately they don't ship to Ireland, but yeah, as for processor i5 2500k or AMD Phemon II x6 and GPU what ever you can get that will run MC and COD4 at high FPS and all the new games at a decent fps 60 or so :p thanks

Don't bother with the X6, Get the AMD II X4 980 Black Edition. It's a great processor, and cheaper than both the X6 (6-core) and i5 2500k (quad-core). For a video card I have the GTX 560, and with that, the processor at 3.7GHz, and the DDR3 OCed to 1.3GHz from 1.06GHz, I play minecraft on fancy and far at 330 FPS, and fast amd tiny at 720FPS. I can also play Portal in full size at 90-120 FPS. The processor, video card and RAM cost ~ $440 / €320 / ₤270. I don't have a suggestion from where to buy it from. I'll repeat the parts I'm talking about:

-AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition ~ 170$ / 120€ / 104£
-EVGA GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) GDDR5 1GB ~ 200$ / 140€ / 120£
-Antec 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 ~ 70$ / 50€ / 42£

For a tower, get the Antec Three Hundred Illusion. Only 70$, and the cooling inside is amazing. None of the parts go above 35 degrees Celsius.

About Windows, however, if you could get your hands on a disc for it and no code, I can buy one for 40$ Smile Or do as Golagoda said, and pirate it.

Also, I have upgraded my video card and RAM, and my full build cost about 987$. The spoiler below contains the parts. You may not require some of these parts, so stick to the ones I listed above.

Well I recently bought a PC custom made for gaming on eBay for £600 and I've had no complains about it, runs CoD4/Mw2/WaW/Black Ops/Minecraft on highest settings as i've tested it

The i5 2500K is the best processor for gaming at the moment, and the best bang/buck graphics card would be a 560 ti.

i'll do that then :p but is there a difference between installing 32bit and 64, i pirated Win 7 32 on my laptop no problem, but is the installation process different for 64 bit in anyway ? or does 64bit only run on certain mobo's etc... this will be the 1st PC i've built so im a total n00b :derp:

What site did you buy your parts of ? if it doesn't ship to Ireland thats no big deal because i have a few relations living in the US and shipping the parts for a pc wouldn't cost them as much but shipping the actual pc would cost a small fortune, and what GPU did you find better the GTX 560 (was your a 560 Ti or just a 560 btw) or the Radeon 6950 thanks in advance Smile
