They didn't seem to have the option for 670 4GB for some reason but I may ring them and check that out. I know with Windows 7 pro version helped with productivity for some development tools but it's not easy to tell if it's the same in Windows 8 so I went Pro just in case. I can always...

Thanks. No that's without the monitors. I wanted the option to upgrade to SLI in future if needed and I will be using a lot of mods for Skyrim which need over 2GB of VRAM apparently so that's why I went with the 4GB option. As for Windows 8 I was debating on whether to go Pro or not but...

£1358.78 excl. VAT. Probably overpriced I know but I decided a while ago that I wasn't going to build it myself.

I've just purchased a customized rig from Chillblast as I've heard good things about them. Can someone please look at this spec and rate it or advise on any changes which I can still do before they start building? It's two primary uses are programming and gaming with other general usage such...

Hi, I've been scratching my head for days over deciding what monitor(s) to get when I get my new PC which will be used for gaming and software development but I think I'm nearly there. I wanted to run two monitors at 120hz and 1920x1080 and I think I've found a match for my needs here -...

Great thanks. Yeah I'm a programmer in my job and using Visual Studio. I guess my decision will be mainly decided on if I can game and program at the same time :D

Hi, I'm undecided at the moment on whether to purchase two 24" monitors at 1920*1080 or one 27" monitor at 2560*1600. I'll be using a GTX680 4GB card and playing the latest games at highest settings but will only be gaming on one monitor even if I get dual screens. I'll be using the PC...

After reading some of the advice I got on here I've decided on the GTX680 card. But I'm undecided on whether to pay the extra for the 4GB version? I don't mind the cost here but not sure if I'm going to see much benefit. I'm going to be running dual monitors on my PC (one for gaming and the...

Yeah I'm gonna go with the single card solution now so its the GTX 670/680 or the 7970 HD. I'm leaning towards the 680 right now but unsure of whether to go with the 2GB or 4GB version. I will most likely be dual monitoring but only gaming on one monitor up to possibly 1920 x 1080 and other...

Thanks for the replies, I've been busy so only now managed to read this properly. I've decided now that I'm not going to go for 690 and am thinking of the 670 or even 670 in SLI. I'm a bit concerned though about something called micro-stutter? Would the 670 in SLI mode be of risk there? If...

I was thinking of two 24" monitors so probably 1920*480 or the next up but I haven't bought them yet.

I should have also mentioned that I will have dual monitors but don't necessarily need to play games over the two of them. I'm more likely to game on one and work or browse the internet on the other.

Hi there, I was hoping to get some advice on whether I should be forking out this much for a system (or more to the point the graphics card). I'm buying a new PC which will be mainly used for software development and games at high settings. I don't mind getting a top of the range PC as I...
