Thread: New system purchase UK

  1. #1
    Hey all, after having the same system from Aria since 2002 which has been upgraded here and there over the years, I'm looking to get a decent gaming system. Just wondering which are the best sites to go to for a budget of £400 (perhaps more). All I need is the base unit and I'm not bothered about a modded case etc just the essentials but at decent quality so I can play ArmA and Ofp at good detail settings. Ta all.

    Oh yeah, also wanted to ask if it's now safe to go over to Vista? Should I still get an XP sytem instead? Sorry for the dumb noob questions but like I said I haven't made a major system purchase for almost 6 years!

    If you are going for Vista, go for 32 bit; 64 bit has many problems. It's your best bet to get Vista (for the future) but have a dual install, so you have XP as well on a separate hard drive partition.

    My favourite computer shop: <a href="www.scan.co.uk" target=&#39;_blank&#39;>www.scan.co.uk</a>

    This isn&#39;t really the correct forum, though...

    Sorry, sarbe, didn&#39;t know which forum to post in so I went for this one. Mods can move this if the want&#33;

    I had mine built by this guy i priced up all the parts my self then sent them to him for a price.
    The parts i priced up came to &#163;940 and he built it all for &#163;1000 with 3 year warranty and if you live live near Derby you can pick it up(thats if you live in the UK).

    Thousand quid to build your PC for you? Christ I&#39;m in the wrong job.

    Build it yourself, if you can manage to replace a graphics card, building a PC isn&#39;t much more complicated. Every motherboard gives you instructions on how and where to place things, and each individual component also tells you the same.

    Easy, and you save yourself a wad of dosh at the same time.

    More like 60 quid to build it, 940 for the parts...
