New PC

[Nekka-Lucifer]

Ok... I shall be buying (from parts) a new PC. I need shipping in UK where it's not shipped from US.
I am after:-

Motherboard - Good onboard network card (no gpu and sound card onboard (waste of money if getting em anyway))
GPU - gaming and dual screen compatible
Sound card
Processer - Dual core
Hard Drives - 300GB fast and 1TB efficient
CD/DVD reader/writer (x2) - Cheap and works
PSU - Enough Wattage to power what I get plus an extra 100-150W for somethin else (Maybe modular)
Case - well ventilated

no speakers, keyboard, mouse or screen.
My budget is either £400 or £600 depending on when I get it. so I'd love it if someone did one and someone else did the other. Or you can do both if you truly wish.
http://www.scan.co.uk is a good place to get parts as I can get there easily.

Thx, Nekka-Lucifer

Thanks man, but I wont be using vista. I'll be using my copy of XP pro and upgrading to Windows 7 when I feel I'm ready. Thanks for that. You sure like ebuyer then
One question, what is overclocking... I've heard it so much and never really knew what it was.

Ohh.. and vista is poo I wouldn't want it... At least not pay for it!

Take a look at this thread: http://www.computerforum.com/16346-overclocking-101-oc101.html That's for learning what OCing is. And, I own multiple copies of Windows Vista and none are incompatible with the hardware I used them in, the only complaint I have for Vista is that it's a resource hog
