Hi every one im new to this forum and in new year after Christmas i want to build gaming pc.

i5 2500k £120 ebay new
and rest iam not sure of.
Some parts i will be probably buying of ebay and other from overlockers is just my budget.

£500 max. £50+/-

Sounds good, best to come back after Christmas when you can buy as prices will change etc..

Also it'd be careful buying expensive PC components of there. You don't know condition, warranty etc.. and have nothing to fall back on.

I know but they have 100% and over 600 positivie comments.
I do have many things of ebay and they work great in till now...
What do you mean as prices will change to lower or higher? Because at the moment on overlockers there arent many products.

beejjacobs · 4 Dec 2011 at 17:52

There aren't many products!? What did you want which isn't on there? Also, I don't know but prices change all the time.

Well about 3 months ago there were graphics cards from MSi its just example and now they dont even have gtx560.
Thats why i want to wait in till they get new delivery.

Sorry i meant gtx 470,480 etc.
But anyway iam waiting for the spec.

Yeah they tend to only keep the latest stuff on there, and remember manufacturers do stop making them! You can pick them up second hand or sometimes they have reconditioned ones.

Do you have anything you can use? e.g. SATA HDD? Only they're very expensive! Do you need an OS, keyboard, mouse, screen?

IC3 · 4 Dec 2011 at 18:06

I do have Mouse,keyboard,Monitor and i have hard drive which i bought about 4 months ago.
And Windows 7

the prices will most probably fall due to the release of new tech
