ok...how does this sound? (my PC, the higher graphics like the HD4890 will be the price of the 4870 by the time FFXIV comes out but if you are buying now this is my recommendations)
CPU: Intel core i7 920 8 core
2.66ghz@3.2ghz (overclock) £200 (the 920 can only support upto 1333mhz ram, get the 975 for 2ghz+)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Ex58-UD5 (supports all i7 processors, all ddr3 ram, 2Ghz+, 3 slots for graphics cards and a 7.1 channel HD soundcard built in, also 6 RAM channels) £180
RAM: 3x4GB DDR3 1333Mhz corsair xms3 (motherboard can hold 6 sticks but you wont need for a while) £140
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD4870 1GB GDDR5 (can put 2 more in motherboard and use crossfire later down the line) £160
Antec Twelve Hundred Case: £100 (coming down in price, cant confirm price is still that high)
Total: £780
This Spec will cost about £2000 prebuilt.
If you want an awesome monitor check out the Edge10 24", they go for about £140 atm.
