I did it quick, because it was already in my basket for another spec thread, just a slight change of case and SSD size to get into budget.

I got absolutely no problems showing someone how to knock together a pc, you would learn something, and hopefully be able to do future upgrades/builds yourself.

was it EVERYTHING that you are needing? just noticed I forgot speakers.

squidge4 · 16 Jan 2011 at 16:17

hi, all better now i hope.

squidge4 · 16 Jan 2011 at 16:21

All sounds good to me. maybe a minor tweak but would i be able to pm you when i have had a better look. Thanks for your help so far.

Troezar · 16 Jan 2011 at 16:57

Now that's a great offer. Advice on which bits to buy and help on building it up. I'd snatch his hand off

squidge4 · 16 Jan 2011 at 16:59

life cant get much better than this.

You can also give OcUK a call and they can help build it for you if you're not up to building it yourself

But they'll charge you £££ - Stulid will do it for a pint or so at the most

stulid · 16 Jan 2011 at 17:13

could even put a few games on

How much do they charge to put a computer together?

More than it would cost to buy a book, or pay stulid a pint

Few dozen pounds, I would imagine.

squidge4 · 16 Jan 2011 at 19:22

Don't seem to be many cases in stock for similar price, unless you want to spend more?

And do you want to overclock the cpu ever? have done away with the aftermarket heatsink to save money, the stock supplied Itel cooler will be ok.

If you have no plans to overclock? then you can use the non "K" cpu - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-361-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1275

squidge4 · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:04

Do you mean the VENOM CPU cooler is needed for overclocking ?

Orcvader · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:05

Well stulid it sounds like he's going to give you a call, maybe demand another pint for an overclock?
