Hearing "Grrrrrrrr...." in teamspeak all day (priceless)



Was drooling over computer parts that i cant afford and stumbled across an insanely expensive gaming computer build... i can only dream of what BF3 would look like with this rig running at full throttle... or half... or one quarter...  since my computer now is fairly stable in bf3 on medium graphics (30-50fps) maybe if i win the lottery ill build this... heck if i win the lottery ill have a giveaway and build one or two for clan members who need an upgrade!  anyway, just putting this out there for fun since its almost 3am and im about to go jump into bf3.

Wow, some of the $ prices seem very good value compared to the equivalent £ prices.
I'm looking for a 3rd gen i7, case, power supply, SSD and 79xx graphics.

uchimata try overclockers.co.uk and novatech.co.uk both tend to have the latest hardware.

but i was looking at building my ultimate rig (the one i will never be able to afford)
last price up i did, brought it to well over £2000 (i had to stop it was making sad) and that was only for
cpu,
psu,
mobo,
ram,
gpu,
hdd's and ssd's


i already have the case, monitor, speakers keyboard mouse etc.

but i will never be able to afford that well at lease not without the lottery.

Darn, forgot about extra RAM. I have bits I can re-use but thought I might as well future-proof myself for a number of years. For instance, I only need a dual-core i5 for gaming, but the i7 will give plenty of headroom. My son wants to build an i7 machine for music production (he's never even seen the inside of a PC!)
