Surveyor is just trying to help you out and keep you on the forum fella. He was replying to mrrad1951 for the most part. We can't link to competitors as that is the forum rules but we will help anyone with any system when asked

You really, really don't want to be using the Bulldozer CPU. If you give us a budget and what you need (OS, monitor etc) we can post some spec's. I guarantee you won't see any bulldozer builds bud. Don't worry about the old machine, if these guys make a living off it and couldn't suss it that's not really your problem.

I have a legit Win 7 Ultimate 64 key and I use a dual monitors BenQ. I will inwardly digest the advice about the Bulldozer and put that out of my mind now..thanks for that. It looked good specs though http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-182-OE&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat=1270 and I've just realised its a bit more as I forgot about VAT, I can still do that...just have to be frugal for a month.

Definitely, Intel's the way forward for outright speed - there's very few applications that BD can be recommended for.

The PC I returned was Asus Motherboard, so intel might be a good way forward, hopefully I couldn't possibly have the same problem again? (Fingers crossed)

Well normally we spec the parts and then you assemble yourself. Now I'm guessing that is a no go with you so......get in contact with OCuk and see what they would charge to assemble your own choice of components.

Let us know what that will cost and give us a budget to suit and importantly list what you do need and the uses for the build......then we can get to work.

Ok will do. I was under the impression after talking to my m8 yesterday that it would be delivered made or picked up from Portsmouth? My neighbour even said today that he wouldn't mind running me over there as I don't have a car in the UK only at my house in the Philippines and Overclockers is a 2.5hr drive from where I live. I'll pop over to see him again tomorrow and anyway tell him I want a Intel based unit and start over.

Thank you everybody for the heads up on the Dozer...and goodnight!

They do "pre-built" systems. The idea is that we can suggest a build which you can compare to what they have "off the shelf".

I don't know what they would charge to assemble "our" suggested build but I'm sure they would and in the process you get a machine better suited to your needs

Shame the buisness that you were with for 6 years did not treat you properly with regards to sorting your problem out.

Don't feel bad about them feeling bad for giving you a refund, it is their fault for not sorting you out properly in the first place. They should have gone out of there way to leave you with a working computer, even if it meant building a complete new system with different parts.

Esp considering you have bought 6 systems off them in the past.
