That seems overpriced. My PC had Phenom II X4 955 BE, 500 gb HD, 4gb RAM, a gtx 275, mobo plus a samsung DVD drive and with a 21" widescreen monitor all for about ~820 euros when converted.

No it isn't. Another TG guy I have been helping build sent me this link the other day:

That doesn't include the OS, but has a slightly faster gfx. card and a killer CPU. You could pic a different case for a few bucks more as well, or a different gfx. card. Then download and run the windows 7 release canidate till the full version comes out on OCT. 22nd so you wouldn't have to buy Vista or XP right now.

What games are you looking to play on this and the size of the monitor you want to get will dictate what gfx. card to choose.

But there are ways to enable PB on Windows 7, at least for Battlefield games from my knowledge.

Yep.
Someone posted here the other day they were running BF2 fine with Win7 after manually updating punkbuster, and just today someone posted the same thing over on the PR.com forums.

Ok thanks i wasn't playing on getting windows 7 very new and it probably need a few updates before it good.
So would that be ok bamboo the processor and the graphic card.

**Bamboo** · 06-27-2009, 05:53 PM

Not sure what you mean? Which processor and gfx. card?

That may not be accurate anymore. Download the pbsetup app from them and manually update punkbuster through that. Bamboo mentioned that BF2 and PR are working and I can attest that Call of Duty:WaW runs just fine in multiplayer.
