By the power of grayskull!

IT HAS THE POWER!

Pft, finance declined! I think asking for £3000 of credit was a bit too much, gonna have to rebudget

Always keep wondering why people would spend that much, I never spent more than 700 euros on a PC and always sufficed, and I do a lot of rendering and other types of processing.

Tbh you're right, i can get a PC that's pretty much all i would ned for a couple of years for under £650, but tbh i'm an impulse buyer and i want an awesome spec'd pc :p

Plus, i'm now playing Age of Conan and awesome game = awesome resource hog, i want that elusive 80-100 FPS gameply instead of my current 40-50 FPS!

I have to admit.. its hard to get a PC that looks awesomecakes with a 700 euro budget, I got some fancy blue leds in it and a somewhat extraordinary case but thats about it

700 euros being 624,71 pounds, I buy like a complete system every like 4 years, but usually switch between graphic cards like 2 years after (in middle) to keep up playing games on high etc.

Well for £600 you couldd get ...
