Guideline: Gaming-PC for your budget!

I get 50FPS on GTA IV maxed out @ 1280x1024

Phenom II X6 1090T + Radeon HD 6870

[[SWK]Nemesis]

Fairly old but still handles the job well!

Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz BE + Stock Cooler (not OC'd until i get my aftermarket cooler)
HD 5770
4GB ddr3 ram
500 g- who cares about HDD size anyway
Proxima Wireless receiver for XBOX 360 (up to 4 controllers)

Running Dishonored on almost everything maxed @ 1920x1080 on my TV

FPS ranges between 45-110 throughout the game
Skyrim stays around 60, GTA IV around 40-70, any Source engine game over 100, borderlands 2 45-80, BF3 30-55 depending on the online map

Temperatures do reach just above the limit for my CPU (62 degrees Celsius) because of the shitty stock fan, but any one under 40 quid should knock that down to a comfortable range soon

Will OC to 3.8 once i get the fan

62 C is within the comfortable range, just saying

Obviously I can go above, I've hit 70 once when stress testing with no BSOD or any errors, but its just a longevity thing, and seeing as I can't really OC on a stock cooler without bumping up the heat even further, a cooler'll allow me to get the most out of my CPU and keep it cooler
