Which is the best computer for gaming and work?

[nevillen]

I am a software developer and game lover too. I want to build my another computer for gaming purpose and also do my work part time on that so can anyone suggest me all the latest and fastest part matching to each other. No limit in money cause its my dream computer and i don't want to compromise anything. I am a Intel lover so if possible suggest me intel parts.

if you're a software developer you should kinda know something about the insides of a computer...but something quadcore, 4gig+ of memory, good graphics card etc...

You like intel. You evil, corporate, capitalist pig dog you!

Come to the dark side! We have weed, hash brownies and AMD!

• 518692 AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core, 3,4Ghz, AM3, 8MB, 125W, Boxed
• 585672 ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, Socket-AM3 AMD 890GX+SB850, ATX, DDR3 , 6xSATA 6Gb, USB3.0, HDMI, GbLAN, 2xPCI-Ex(2.0)x16
• 584721 Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI-I, HDMI, DisplayPort, 850/1200MHz, Full-Retail

Is currently what I'm looking at. It's got a pretty decent bang/buck ratio;p

I would highly recommend coming over to this computer forum I am a part of. There are people there that can recommend parts to build a spec for the best deal and can tell you if all the parts you have selected will work together. Some people on here think of me as having a decent knowledge of computers but this forum is brilliant.
This could be considered your 'dream computer', expensive but awesome.

CPU - i7 930 - £220.85
Mobo - Asus P6TD Deluxe X58 Socket 1366 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard - £216.33
RAM - Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz XMS3 Memory Kit CL9(9-9-9-24) 1.65V - £111.64
GPU - GTX 460 1GB x2 in SLI - £348.92 OR
ATI 5850 x2 in crossfire - £423.84
PSU - OCZ GameXStream 850W PSU - Silent 120mm Blue LED Fan 4x PCI-E 6x SATA - £84.99 (some will say that's overkill but if you want to overclock or add a second or third card you will be glad of the headroom)
Case - Antec P183 Case - GunMetal Grey Super Mid Tower - No PSU - £111.65
HDD - Samsung F3 1TB - £43.79
Optical drive - LG CH08LS10 8x BD-ROM with DVD±RW & LightScribe SATA Blu-Ray Drive - OEM Black - £48.99

Sub total - £1190.72 - £1262.08 depending on GPU choice
Still needs operating system, windows 7 64bit is a must in my opinion

places to buy compoents I would recommend are overclockers Scan and ebuyer
