Hi all.
Looking to buy a new pc. I want a decent one that will play games smoothley and not cost the world. Looked in pc world today and their top spec pcs are 1.5k. Can anyone recomend a pc build shop in London/hertfordshire that makes good towers or is there a shop/online with better prices than pc world?
Im looking to get a good Nvidia graphics card, can anyone recomend other good components ie cpu to add to the setup. Price limit £1000. Help is appreciated.:)
 
Your best bet is to be building the computer yourself. You will save money, get quality parts and have the satisfaction of having done the job yourself!
 
Building is not that hard and there is a thread on this forum on how to build.... so we can direct you to that..... if you want to build we can do that for you and there are plenty of members who are willing to help.
 
Thanks for the replys guys, building a pc would be cool and I know it would be cheaper but I just don't have the patiance or time to do it. Also I have to use an internet cafe at the mo so building would ber hard.

The overclockers web site that you linked looks good daisymtc. The machines have good reviews. What OS would you recommend vista 64 bit? Basic? If you could explain what you are saying about the chipset and mobo a bit more to me i would be greatful, I know very little about pcs. :P Is it better to buy the quad processors or duel? thanks for help.

Get a overclockers machine if you don't want to build.

E8400 + 2GB DDR2 1066 RAM + 8800GTS 512MB
And get a 64bit OS

Also if you want to go for SLi, make sure the mobo are 780i chipset. And thus go for the customize option. (their overclocked SLi set-up are using 750i mobo)

wow i got a quote thing to work. that comupter looks fast i think u shuld get it
 
When I built my first computer it didn't even take 20 minutes to put it all together. There were instructions, easy-to-do instructions on how to do it. It's unbelieveably easy to put it all together. Simple.

I think most ppl go for home premium. You can go to Microsoft website, they will tell u difference of different version.

Currently, 680i/ 780i/ 790i support SLi set up at full speed, while 650i/ 750i Sli at x8. So if you want to SLi, you want GPU to be run at full speed.
However, 680i offically not supporting C2Q 45nm and 790i only support expensive DDR3 RAM, and thus 780i chipset is the way if you want to run SLi set up.

Q6600 and E8400 are the 2 most popular gamer CPU. E8400 is faster in current gaming now, due to most games not ultize quad core at the moment.
In long term, Most ppl would choose Q6600.

However, if you buy from OcUK, their system - Q6600 + 4GB DDR2 800 RAM + 8800GTS 512MB is £105 over the E8400 + 2GB RAM + 8800GTS 512MB

So, you are paying extra £55 for a Q6600 over E8400, which is definately not worth.
