:O 3.78 GHz compared to 3.3 GHz?

I like Win8 tbh It's looking awesome

I think my budget may be going down a bit so it looks as though that beloved set-up won't be happening after all...
So I've come back to this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pavilion-p6-2065uk-Desktop-i7-2600-processor/dp/B007I8SZ36/
Gone down to £400 although if I want a new GPU then I'll also have to change the PSU since it doesn't have a connector for a PCIe GPU, so by the time I have upgraded my PSU and GPU that's in excess of £600. I'll probably just get the computer and wait to upgrade it and shiz.

is it an ATX case or micro-ATX?

Well it's kinda confusing, it says ATX but it states it's a 'mini tower' although the PSU has a form factor of 'Internal ATX' so I'm kinda confused.

All I got is an AMD FX with an ATI 6870, thought I'd need like 650W PSU, instead bought 750W PSU, my PC before this needed like 450W and I bought 560W, I always buy more to always be in the safe zone but there's one down side: I burned one safety switch and the other instantly shuts down after I open a game at least I didn't waste my money on a weak PSU Don't really think it's worth going cheap on PSU, and GoldFusion, my ATI 6870 would fit a micro-ATX case and it's pretty big... The 9800GT models don't know if there was a 2GB models but I've only seen the 1GB and the 512mb model, I'm pretty sure the clocks of the 1GB model are higher, not sure though, but it probably makes it handle textures better, cause I can set BF3 textures to Ultra and it runs just fine... and http://www.overclock.net/t/440337/9800gt-512mb-or-1gb not sure if it's a reliable source but it was about the best around Google's first page xD

Well if I ever get to upgrade my PSU in the future then I'll make sure it's enough. The current one would only be 300W and it doesn't have the right connector for a GFX card so I would need a new one, most probably 600W Corsair.

As for the PC specs, most of the info is here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03020783&lang=en&cc=us&contentType=SupportFAQ&prodSeriesId=5151865&prodTypeId=12454

Still not sure whether it is ATX or Micro ATX...

I don't like double posting but here goes:
The PC above is sold out due to Black Friday sales
Other computers on amazon that are in budget and decent are now gone.
I have decided to go for another scan setup, is this alright? Budget now down to £450-£500 tops

that should be able to run bf3 no prob

Me want xD

But will is run Arma 2 (+DayZ) and DCS? MOH:WF, PS2, GTA4/5 or anything like that or am I being stupidly ambitious?

it will run all of the games

:O Thank You

Btw, I love the way you have an NC sig even though 13th have gone TR

its only like that for EU, NA will probably go NC

just sayin, but how do you know it will?
MOH:WF may be a stretch for high settings, but it will run it on low/medium easy, and as for GTA 5, no clue being it isn't out yet, but Rockstar games aren't too demanding so it should run it fine

the question was will it run? and if it can run bf3 why not MOH?

I guess you haven't played MOH, it has the same engine, but has more advanced graphics

Let's not have an arguement guys.
I just wanted to know if I could run it at all, reasonable FPS on Low is fine for me, so with the prospects of running BF3 on Med/High settings has cheered me up.

Don't worry. It will run it. And you'll get an average 85 fps on P4F

Wait, are u talking about that HP PC, with Intel HD Graphics 3000?

intel hd 300 still pays BF3, Ive done itlol :p
but he is talking about the parts that he posted
