Building a PC

If your looking at a high speck pc you should think of a lot bigger harddrive than 74 gig more like sata 400+ gig twin mirror or raid drives:)
80 gig is a very small drive these days

I find Creative computers down at Road End on the other side of Haslingden best. They build it to what you want. Bro bought a computer from there before xmas and they built it £50 cheaper than from PC World!
 
the first and third look fine not sure about the second though
the first looks good i know its a bit expensive but it will support everything you need

so go on, whats it cost up to now?

Putting them together physically is teh easy bit, getting everything installed and working to its best is teh fun (and time consuming) bit
 
Building a PC has it's Pluses and Negatives. It is cheaper to do, but you can run into compatability issues if you're not careful and don't do your homework beforehand.

Ie DDR 400 RAM is imcomptible with VIA Chipset Motherboards (Not sure if this is the case on their newer Boards)

I ran into this problem myself, never actually noticed a problem until I installed Half-Life 2 and it kept crashing randomly. Removed the stick of RAM and it was fine.

AMD>Intel
and
ATI>NVidia

They are cheaper and benchmarks prove, that on similar models ATI and AMD beat Intel and NVidia. I also believe AMD and ATI are the same company now, could be wrong though.

Avoid onboard Graphics and Sound, because they still eat up System Resources if you ever decide to install a Seperate Sound or GFX card, not sure whether Disabling the on-board stuff in BIOS makes a difference either.

Anyhow, just PM me if you run into problems, been messing with PC's for a about 7 years and have always solved all my PC probs myself
