| 1214003 | 2011-07-02 04:59:00 | right now it will be something between 17-19 because that is all that will fit on the corner of his desk | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1214004 | 2011-07-02 05:44:00 | i'd definitly bump up the graphics card and the cpu. Dont cut corners with either of them! As for everything else, looks good... If your on that budget, go for a 17 inch widescreen with a lower resolution like 1366x768, then your limited graphics card can dedicate more power to gfx quality and frame rate instead of losing out because youre trying to game in full hd :pf1mobmini: |

| 1214005 | 2011-07-02 06:02:00 | I have a 6770 in my laptop atm. Its fairly decent. Will run crysis 1 well, probably be average on 2. Runs WAW nicely as well as far cry II | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1214006 | 2011-07-03 23:18:00 | I tried as an exercise to build a pc for $1k on pp.co.nz using intel parts, didn't quite make it but came up with the following. Computerland would probably be a little cheaper and I only used the cooler master psu in the list as they didn't have corsair until 600W+ on their webstie. Just a thought, AMD's current CPU's are a little weak for gaming.

| 1214007 | 2011-07-04 01:04:00 | GTX460 :D Got one of them on my PC at home :] Put ~1/3rd of the budget on the GPU alone.. >.> GPU is quite possibly the most important part to have on a gaming spec'd PC :) |

| 1214008 | 2011-07-04 04:02:00 | actually I missed a hard drive so the system I linked would be way over 1K. I guess AMD is the way to go if you wanna stay under 1k. I often see the 3 core CPU's listed on Toms hardware as a great budget choice for gaming but I've never found a supplier in NZ that had them at a reasonable price. They just don't seem that common. There are both Athlon and Phenom X3 models in existance if you can find one. |
