    Spec for under £450

    "Or you can download the Win10 technical preview and use that for free for a small amount of time and purchase a full OS later." Please could you define "small amount of time", is it 30 days or longer? I am guessing I will go with this build; YOUR BASKET 1 x AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300...

    Second Build

    So I completed my first computer from bits recommended by OC, and I am a satisfied returning customer. So I have an old PC tower case which was an Advent T9400 3.4ghz Intel Pentium 4 Processor which I believe will be the donor machine. It has two 200gb HDDs for a total of 400gb. I need...

    SPec for gaming & work pc - £850/£900

    Update, I have put all the pieces together (my first build), and have been pleased with the result and OC service. I used all the old bits to build a pc for my son (my second build!). In conclusion therefore I would say, although when you open a computer and there are wires everywhere, and it...

    SPec for gaming & work pc - £850/£900

    I am hoping to send this back up to the top. This was a query I had before Christmas, and as money was tight at the time, all I did was buy the Geforce 770 from your recommendations and slot it into my old computer. Which is a larger tower with powerful fans. Now I am thinking of changing the...

    Spec me a new laptop

    I need to buy a laptop as a Christmas present for my dyslexic daughter who is at school. Most of her use will be at home in word and excel, surfing the internet, and the occassional very simple game. She may also take it into school so robustness should also be a consideration. However, we...

    MSI GT 640 Laptop

    OK now I'm getting fussy I know. I waited for the envy to be in MicroAnvika in Tottenham Court Road, except it wasn't only at their Harrods shop (an exclusive I was told). The USA HP website permits you to upgrade the screen to 1920 x 1080. The UK website does not allow this upgrade. The UK spec...

    MSI GT 640 Laptop

    I'd quite like to see each of them in the flesh. Feel the build and keyboard for myself, and also see and feel the power supply for each of them. I live in London, so I'm hoping that one of the shops on Tottenham Court road will have the MSI, and I'm guessing the HP Envy will get into shops as...

But Ive generally stuck with Nvidia cards in my desktops, so not sure about the Radion 4830. Dosn't seem to say how much ram it...
