    Hi everyone, I'm looking to build a decent gaming Pc that will be able to run all the newest games at full or medium settings. The purpose of this Pc is primarily gaming but i will be doing programming and other heavy tasks ie: Adobe Photoshop. My budget for this pc is between 800 to 900 euro. I'm leaning to Intel processor's and Nvidia gpu. I will not be needing a copy of windows os or any peripherals. If anyone has any ideas it will be much appreciated. Many thanks smcraft8.

    You can save 40 if you don't want to add a second graphics card down the line on the power supply. Also can save 50 on the motherboard as well if you don't want. But SLI performance is brill.

    thanks for the replys
    how would the intel xeon processor compare to a i5 or i7 ivy brigde processor?
    i have never heard of zotac should i be wary about buying from them?
    will this build be able to run all my games at max settings at around 50 to 60 fps?
