one serious tip
no matter what nerd tells you do not go for a motherboard with intergrated graphics , all it will do is eat into your system memory/ram , if you are going to buy a board with intergrated graphics you may as well just buy a piece of crap from pc world, also intergrated graphics lack a lot of features that stand alone graphics cards do and you will probably run into a lot of issues with games or have to lower graphics quality to play them properly
on board sound is ok but graphics is a huge no no , even if your not planning on playing gamesthe onboard graphics will slow your system down BIG time
spend an extra 50 or so quid and get a half decent ati card , preferably pci express so make sure you buy a board with a oci express slot and not agp
scew intel they are overpriced stick with amd , cheaper and just as fast |
LOL Most Household Insurance comes with Accidental Damage to Personal Computer for free.
Well firstly I have to agree with the comment PC world, what a load of rubbish, I swore I would not buy anything from there again after a eventfull printer purchase 3 years ago and a USB cable row.
I will not buy a pre built machine as they are a rip off WAY to dear for the spec I want, I do a lot of online gaming and play the newest games.
I believe the Intel Chip will be VERY POWERFULL when over clocked, better if not as good as the FX70 AMD monster.
Mother Board for Graffics. LOL - I mentioned the Nvidia 7950 GT as the one I am looking at although the 8800 seems intersting, I do believe though ATi are bringing a new one out soon the willbe 50% More powerfull than the 8800.
If you see my list its a Top Spec Machine I dont want a PC world PC which has 1 good bit & 20 bad bits.
My List comes to around the £1000.00 figure. To Buy a pre Build around £1700.00 Simmaler Spec.
