Hi Guys, I'm after a whole new computer pretty much replace my old one which is well over due, so old I can play Crysis on low! or Bf2 on medium etc I'm after parts in a total cost of £500 and hopefully it'll last for a good 3 or 4 years. Quad Core is sounding good for starters. Anyone got any thoughts? Once Royal Mail has had it's strike i'll be looking at buying. Does the new year effect prices on latest Graphics cards? Cheers
i would probably say it will. yes. what parts do you exactly need? Screen? Operating system? or just all base? mouse & keyboard?
Sorry been busy to get on here. Basically everything again as my old one is just about alive. New motherboard, ram, graphic's, case, HDD etc etc
I would say get an SSD to run your OS and other important bits from. I recently bought one and worth every penny.
You can build a good i5 rig for £500 i5 750 Gigabyte P55M UD2 HD5770 Samsung F3 1Tb Corsair VX450 Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) i5 Kit Antec 300 comes to around £450
Hi all, Sorry not been on for awhile, looking to buy in new year. Is it worth waiting to see what Nvidia release before i buy the graphic's card?
err. how?! more like £600 but if the OP can stretch to 6-700 ish then you're into the realms of i5 which is really worth saving for.
You could wait, but i dont think they will release anything that is spectacular, i'd just go for something like a 5850, great card, low price. but postpone the build til you have lots of money to get a decent i5 build or something
