New computer

oddjob · 12-07-2006, 06:31 PM

I'm from the UK, and I'm looking in to buying a new computer. It has to be directX10 compatible (eg. have a motherbard with room for a DX10 card (preferably 2), and have the correct sort of RAM etc (whatever you need for DX10)). Becuase I'm looking to upgrade to a DX10 card as soon as they're at a reasonable price, it doesn't need the best graphics card (something about a Geforce 7600 GT).

I want it to be able to be used for gaming, not top-of-the-line, but so it could play pretty much any game at a reasonable level (above 30fps). I'm not really looking to build my own so a pre-built would be prefered. I also need it to be upgradeable in the future, to keep up with the needs of the next 4-5 years of gaming.

My budget it £1000 (possibly £1100) and that needs to include everything (monitor, keyboard, mouse, P&P etc)

Sorry about all the requirements, but I'm not really sure where to go to buy a decent computer, and I hope you can help me out.

Thanks

since some of us aren't from the UK... you should give us links to the websites you would use to buy from...

try www.overclockers.co.uk or look in the computer magazines they have some good deals

sounds like you already know where to look. have you seen something already and want to know if it's a good deal?

The thing is, I don't know where to look. I was just asking about whether anyone here knows any good computers for gaming/video editing which I could buy (under £1000)

might as well just pop over to dell, their XPS range would fit your budget fine and give you what your looking for

think the 9200 series would be the way to go
