Would love to see streaming capabilities added - which builds can also stream (with FRAPS, probably) at what resolutions and how well. | ||

EDIT: http://www.ukgamingcomputers.co.uk/hemera-custom-gaming-pc-p-99.html I've looked at this one as well, is this better than the $400 build? | ||

I really don't want to have to have everything on low settings to play smoothly but I understand $400 isn't going to get me ultra graphics so how good is it going to be? High settings maybe on some of those games, by getting some of the absolute cheapest stuff where possible. You'll take the $400 build in the OP or similar, but the hard drive cost will be much higher. So the HD 6850 will need to be downgraded to a HD 6770 or similar, around $100. edit: UK prices...will be different obviously. Please specify location first. As a result, what you linked has a worse CPU and GPU about half as good as around a HD 6770. Also 2GB of RAM is low. So it's much worse. | ||

Actually with 400 pounds, you can get more than 400 USD worth of parts. Just good luck finding a hard drive now. | ||

What would be the minimal requirement for a tower to be able to run sc2 smoothly while streaming? Any help would be greatly appreciated. i5 2400, but for graphics card it depends on the resolution you're looking to play at and on the quality as well. For ultra in 1080p, 6850 would probably be recommended. For low, something like 5570 is plenty.

For 400£, this is a true winner atm, get it until they alter the prices due to hard drive situation: http://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Gaming Range/Gladiator/Gladiator IBIS Deluxe Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.10GHz DDR3 Gaming PC w/ FREE Steam Voucher DiRT 3! ?productId=46328 | ||

I really can't spend as much as £400 and with my lack of knowledge about PC specs building one is out of the question for me now, I feel like I can't find good enough deals for building one to be worth it so I need a ready made one I think (don't need monitor or OS). | ||

Can't spend 400£ on a computer? wtf Then you just can't buy a computer, simple as that. No one can magically make them cost less than they're worth. | ||
