system 2 ...Only because of the 1010watt OCZ PSU in system 1 is total garbage....OCZ does not make a decent PSU any more...THEY NOW MAKE GARBAGE WITH A HUGE AZZ RIPPLE THAT WILL DROWN(drown=kill) YOU AND YOUR RIG AND YOUR HARDWARE AND YOUR NEIGHBORS!!!

 

[Namslas90]

System 2.

 

[Grings]

[theonetruewill]

System 2. The motherboard is better- the most important part of a computer.

 

[Chewy]

Just dont get 1 500GB HDD, get 2 HDDs. 1 with 120GB space for Windows and downloads and 1 with 320GB+ space for backup and games. That way if you wanna format or even if one goes down the other will still be ok

 

[freaksavior]

Ben Clarke (another TPU member) and I had a little challenge going on, basically, build a good gaming sytem for a grand. System 1 was his build, system 2 was mine, and has I thought, mine would be the better of the 2

 

[pt]

[kwchang007]

A grand in POUNDS, right? Because in dollars, that system right there would easily be 1700-2000.

Either that or you're getting everything off Ebay and pirating Windows .

And I'd take system 2.

 

[Cuzza]

system 2 for sure. jump on that bandwagon.

 

[Mussels]

stop dissing OCZ PSU's this whole ripple crap doesnt affect most of their PSU's, or i wouldnt be getitng high OC's off their weaker product lines (i havent used the 1KW PSU, but the gameXstreams are just fine)

I'd have chosen #1 if it had a weaker PSU and the X-fi, it'd almost be my system then, and i know its fast and OC's well whilst being stable.

SInce i cant choose, #2 is it.

 

[NinkobEi]

2. x-fi beats the crap out of onboard

 

[bacardi9966]

2

2168.38 at the current rate.

Either that or you're getting everything off Ebay and pirating Windows .

ebuyer.co.uk, and Windows would be OEM.

And I'd take system 2.

Bah.


But I'll keep in mind what's posted here.... less powerful PSU's, and better mobo's. I completly forgot the Commando was out...
