pass the barge pole plz, pc world UK is the last place for a gaming pc, underpowered graphics and over a grand.

ask any of their sales ppl for a demo, arf!
"company policy says we cant touch the pc's ....( did you miss the tv doc about them recently :D

you should state a max price, as for pc spec anything as good or better than below adds to gameplay,

cpu:intel/amd 3000 / 3200+
ram 1 Gb ddr400
graphics 6600gt / X800 pcie
rest up to you

bf2 plays fine at 1024*768 no AA no AF med settings on above.
check out systems here 'Titan V' as a starting point for specs/prices.
#Be aware prices are falling on AMD/intel#
maybe next month some better deals.

thnx for that 1stepbeyond but i seriously dont have $10,000 to play about with, i have 2 options really spend about £700 on a pc or wait till the ps3 comes out.
i can do w/o a monitor as im lookin for a pc with a tv out graphics card as i have a 42 inch tv and would rather connect it to that so if i could just find a decent base then im sweet.bf2 is just one of the games i would like to play but also ghost recon advance warrior as i still constantly play gr ds&it.if i could get a decent base for between £500&£600 that would be fine.any suggestions on where i could find one would be appreciated

out of interest where have you seen that?

(a grand = £1000 not 10k$ ! i wish it was id be straight over to the USA shopping on my Lear.)

will the radeon x1800 xt work on bf2 , yes

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/print/radeon-x1800.html


im UK btw, what youve spec'd above is the dogs b's for a pc 1 of the best till the intel x2C

http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/08/02/thg_tuning_test_uk/index.html


i wouldnt bother with 2 gig of ram 1 gig is fine.
the 4000 amd isnt worth OCing unless you think so lol its fast enough.

i use freezerpro , you need reasonably sized case to fit that comfortably with the psu cables,& go for a 500 watt antec dual rail + pcie connector.


about the ps3 its rated about uk rrp £500+ here but cheaper in the USA? id wait for the grey imports to see how they are rated 1st like the xbox2 a lot of sad faces when they saw the initial price and lack of availability, games will be ridiculoulsy over priced.

cheers

LOL, Soul_ire sorry the Titan V i was on about
base unit here:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Full_Systems.html#afs_2d004_2doc

£528.69 Including VAT at 17.5% you could inquire wether an upgrade to a better cpu is available as prices have dropped a bit.
the 7600 BFG GT OC plays bf2 fine again could inquire for a 7900.
yes your right about the initial batches of ps2 failing there was a bloke locally made a fortune in repairs, drive motors failed alot for some reason.
