Hey fellas,

Was previously thinking about building a machine, but since my laptop has imploded, and I really can't afford the time to trouble-shoot any possible issues, I've decided to buy a pre built machine.

I am quite happy to buy from OverClockers, but I was wondering if anybody could recommend which would be best for my requirements/budget.

I will spend up to £800.

I am a web designer, so will need 4gb ram, and a high spec graphics card. The machine must work marvellously with Adobe Creative Suite. (And I might also do a little bit of gaming if time allows ;) )

So does anybody have any recommendations?
 
I do need a new monitor and a few other peripherals (keyboard, speakers etc).

Would anyone be able to recommend a case and OS? I have no idea which OS to go for. I'm on XP at the moment, and happy with it. Obviously I've head of problems with Vista, but have no personal experience of it.
 
hi,

personally, this might sound a bit dickish of me but... rather than buying a complete pc built by say ocz, asus etc... why don;t you custom build it from several sites over the internet? i know it might sound crazy but you might find that you can save quite a bit of money that way. I bet i can get the components to any of the systems that ocuk sell fully built and get the price down by a few quid at least just by buying the parts (or equivical parts) individually and then building it myself. and as for a good os, i hate to say it but i do like vista, however some linux os are nice like ubuntu.
