PC build...

[Guest barackobama]

As you all know, I've been without a desktop for the last 3 months.

 

Well today is the day you get to design my desktop.

 

It has to be with a UK custom gaming shop (I live in the UK!)

 

It has to be around £1000 (£1000 being the max).

 

It needs to be able to play CS:S and killing floors (Haggard says!)

 

Simple, best one I will order today, list the specs the site and direct link (if given one) and I will order it.

 

Winner gets a limited edition GarfieldH T-shirt! :heh::heh:
