Sirius7dk Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 what is your budget?nearer £10 or £100.000? a general advice would be to get the best graphics card you can get and as many RAM as possible within your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 ^Actually theres no point in going over 4GB of RAM if running a 32 bit OS as Windows wont recognize the whole 4GB anyways. Whats your budget and I might be able to throw soemthing together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 well he wants it on a UK website...Once again, I suggest, looking at how much you have, then calling around to local computer stores, telling them what you need, and how much you can pay, then they can help you out a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyfromhill Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Consider building it yourself. Building it yourself is very cost effective. I just build the computer in my signature (minus headset, keyboard, mouse, monitor and speakers) for around $875 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just build the computer in my signature (minus headset, keyboard, mouse, monitor and speakers) for around $875 USD.Ehm in 90% of cases building yourself is more expensive then building a pre-build or build on order pc And chances are you go back to the shop more times to exchange parts, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyfromhill Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 That is only the case if you build a cheap PC (i.e $400). You can build a top of the line system for around $2,500 USD (no peripherals). Tell me where I can get a top of the line system for $2,500. If you build it yourself, you get to choose exactly what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 But, it is a little more costly, and not everyone will need a top of the line system, so best thing to do is call around, tell them what you want it for, like gaming with these kind of games, and they can help. That's the best thing to do IMO. Unless of course you are technologically inclined, and you know your stuff, as well as where to get good cheap parts, then go all out.

I just build the computer in my signature (minus headset, keyboard, mouse, monitor and speakers) for around $875 USD.Indeed building is usually the more cost effective measure. Thats a pretty nice build there Billy.or, if you dont have the skills and dont want to learn to build it yourself, buy the computer in a small local computer shop and avoid the big chains like Curry's, PC World, Comet and what else, you usually get more value for money by buying it in a small shop.and i only know of this UK website, http://overclockers.co.uk/ but i have a good impression of that companyOverclockers is very reliable from what I have heard. Probably the top online shop in the UK for PC parts. To add on to his point, avoid large retail chains. Although regional chains arent that bad.Ehm in 90% of cases building yourself is more expensive then building a pre-build or build on order pc And chances are you go back to the shop more times to exchange parts, etcPlease site some examples, because in my experience, and i throw builds together for people from time to time, there is always more bang for the buck on a custom build. Not to mention with a Dell(for example) you get what you get. You might be able to choose between an ATI or Nvidia gfx chip depending on your build. You may be bale to choose between 2,3,and 4 GB of RAM. You may get to choose between a 1TB hard drive or a 2 TB hard drive. The thing is your not choosing weather you want a Seagate,Western Digital Hard Drive, which are top quality drives usually, compared to what ever Dell choose to throw in there because they got a good deal on them. Not to mention the ability to over clock if you want, choosing your cooling methods, choosing your case, and nice cable managment.I built my rig back in December and with the i7 cpu chips growing more and more popular, of course Core 2 builds are getting cheaper, but anyways:Mozart TX CaseAsus P5N-D MoboIntel Core 2 Quad Q66004GB Patriot RAMEVGA Nvidia 900GTX+Pioneer 115 DBKSeagate 750 GB Hard DriveCorsair HX520 W Modular PSUAll that for a bit over $1,000 USD.billyfromhill,Could I get you to tell me where you got all that stuff at, that is a nice setup you got there.Thanks- JonMy guess is www.newegg.com and possibly a few pieces from www.TigerDirect.com@Rulerz, thats a pretty tight budget to work with. £100 will not get you much. I will see whats possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
