Ok, so I'm going to JHB next week Wednesday and I want to get myself a gaming system. I already have speakers, a 22" monitor and Vista Ultimate 64bit. I want a rig, max budget is R16.5k but you don't have to feel obligated to put usage to it all.
Thanks in advance
i7 here we come.....maybe even a GTX 295 or GTX 285. Wish I had that kinda budget.

Hi there!
I am looking to get a new pc, no need for peripherals, just a towercase overhaul. Max. buget R10 000. I've been looking on www.take2.co.za, where they have really good prices, but I don't know what to get! I don't need anything outstanding, just a sort of top of the middle range...what woulf you guys reccommend?
I was thinking:
Core2duo prcessor, 2.5 Ghz
3gigs RAM
Nvidia 9800 512Mb
250 gig HDD (SATA 2)
Not too sure on which mother board I should get, but one that supports PCI express 2.0 would be nice!
Not all that fussy on cases.
Any one wanna correct me, see if they can find a better option?
Sack! R16k! and here I was cringing at dishing out R5k for an upgrade...
Keep us informed on what you're getting mate ... and hopefully some screenies too!
Eish, you waited sooooo long eh Ghost02 .... and then you suddenly have 16k to spend on it ...... nice :D
I've been saving up for a year if you remember that 1st thread. Its finally pay off time :DQuote:
