Rate My Spec (£900)

[Barron]

Hi,

Looking at building a computer for general use and a bit of gaming (Mainly BF3). What do you think of the below spec? I have a 1000W Corsair PSU to go with it (overkill i know). Got around £900 to spend.

I have an issue paying over £200 on something that has just 1 year warranty.

If you cut back on the H80, to a H60 or Antec620.

Then you could get a GTX570 with 2/3 year warranty/box and accessories, or max out your budget by keeping the H80 and getting a GTX570 with all the extras - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-142-GW&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1010

Or this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-128-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752


And two harddrives?

Get the retail CPU for few £ more and extra warranty I'd say
