Of course, if it was a lame pre-made comp (Dell, for example) it would cost 2000-2500€

I always suggest buying a "barebones" computer to act as a foundation to build off of. Adding the rest of the hardware on is simple and cheaper!

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.76GHz
Ram: Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 6.00 GB
GPU: Asus GTX285
Hard disk 1 size: Western Digital GreenPower 500 GB
Hard disk 2 size: Seagate Barracuda 250 GB
Hard disk 3 size: Western Digital GreenPower 1 TB
Mobo: Asus Rampage 2 Extreme
Case: Antec 1200
PSU: Antec True Power Quattro 1000w
Desktop resolution:1680x1050

Peripherals:
Keyboard: Logitech G15 (Second Gen)
Mouse: Logitech G5 (Second Gen)
Speakers: Logitech G51 Surround Sound
Display: Asus VW222U (22" widescreen)

All Together the whole system cost me about $2500 AUD

why do you have a 1000W power supply? you use like 350 watts at most.

While I agree 1000W is overkill (Although there is no issue with future proofing), if you think a gtx 285 would run on a 350W PSU... well I challenge you to try it, then I'll laugh when you've wasted your money.

Power supplies run most efficiently at 50% load. So the best power supply for him would be a 700-800w power supply.

It would lower is overall power consumption thus lowering him computers waste heat and lower his power bill.

i would choose an 800w power supply to give myself some extra power to upgrade and still be close to the 50% load mark.

lol

Q u o t e:


350W isn't enough for that setup. By that 50% rule, 1000w is just about right.

Computers that run dual 295 gtx graphics cards run at 450w. There is no way you are telling me that his rig with a single 285 is running at 500w
