Hi all,

I don't need a build or anything - I already mailed Kustom for this... I was just wondering if £700 is a decent budget for a gaming system (just the base station without monitor etc)

I'm playing City of Heroes and EQ2 at the mo, albeit on low detail as my poor GF4Ti4600 is creaking and protesting..hehe.

Just wondering if that will be enough to get the job done - I was going to budget about £1200 but am trying to avoid it seeing as I'm trying to save for a deposit right now :(

Yeah I've had enough of paying for all the latest kit only for it to be worth a few hundred quid less in a month's time :) Things advance so quickly these days it's not worth it :)
