Anybody have a setup for work and play they wouldn't mind sharing?
E.g. pc specs, places to get desks, sound systems etc

I need a practical setup to run my business from and play some games at the same time.

Much appreciated :)

For work and gaming combined, youre going to want an intel i7 core for sure

What kinds of games/work will you be doing?

At the moment, I simply trade off my website, at the moment I have 3 monitors waiting to go into my office once I have finished building it. I will need a good graphics car for that. Gaming wise nothing too intense, perhaps GTA 5 as an absolute maximum.

Gta 5 is pretty intense
Youre looking at a gtx970 or dual 960s on the cheaper side for the gpu. If you feel like splurging the 980 and titan are the way to go

What about a processor? Will an i5 be ok?

i7 is definately ideal if you are doing work and gaming. You will definately need 4cores and hyperthreading helps

Liquid cooled AMD FX 9590 is treating me nicely.

Its a very nice apple, but for gaming performs under the titan and about the same as the 980 for a much higher price

If you want amd wait for their next gen of apples.
EVGA also just released a water cooled 980
