Some people think that it's impossible to build a gaming rig for under £1000. This guide will prove them wrong.

If you don't know how to build a computer, I'd recommend reading zekrahminator's guide while I type one up (it'll be a couple of hours till I have mine up, specialised for this system, so sorry).
Also to come with it:
Overclock the CPU to 3GHz+
Tweaking Crysis: Forget Maximum Armour, Maximum Performance
Optimising Windows
