A couple of weeks back, we ran a competition that was based around the idea of building your own gaming PC on a budget, but with the stipulation that it had to run Colin McRae: Dirt 2. The competition itself got a raft of entries, and we saw some really interesting builds come out of it.
Nice to be doing a build on a less tight budget 
Since then though, we’ve encountered a fair few people who are looking for something with a fair bit more oomph, something that will chew through anything you throw at it without giving you too much trouble. When we asked for a budget, we got a couple of replies to say that they’d like to see what we’d do with a build around the €2000 mark. So, with that in mind, we decided to put together a solid PC build that, while it’s that bit more expensive than the other builds we’ve done,] manages to smoke them in terms of performance. The idea for this build came from people who attended our recent Build Your Own PC Classes, who wanted to build some serious, high performance PCs but weren’t quite sure on how to kit them out.
For those with an interest in building their own PCs, but who haven’t tried it before, you might want to check out our Build Your Own PC classes coming up on April 17th. Anyway, without further ado, we’ll move on to the build itself.
