Buying new computer

[Rorytymon]

Hi I'm lost on the internet with flashy websites and deals everywhere, I dont really know what's a good deal anymore! So I thought I'd ask you guys what sort of computer you'd buy with £600-700 (maybe a but more if it's really worth it). I use it for games like wow and battlefield and also university work and statistical programmes. Thanks for the advice!!

Bump

I'm not too sure, I guess if it's worth building my own I would do that it doesn't look too difficult
I only need the operating system included and would prefer windows 7 however could deal with 8.
No over clocking please as I'm not that good at computers to be tampering with that stuff, and the only programme is SPSS statistics.
I already have a 600w corsair PSU, and 8gb ram if that's enough in today's standards
What would you guys suggest

 

[Rorytymon]

Yeah I wasn't too sure which bit to post so I did two lol

 

[Rorytymon]

I'm not too bothered if it's like 50 quid over as long as it's good
So you think this is the best I can get with my money?

 

[Rorytymon]

Maybe change the case to the next model up which has 2 fans blah blah blah and that will be sweet.

@OP what PSU is it exactly? model number will be on a label somewhere.

What RAM do you have?

Hi the PSU is the corsair GS600 and the RAM corsair vengeance pro 8gb

 

[Rorytymon]

Nice I'll have a think about it.
Anyone else got any opinions on builds?

 

[Rorytymon]

Cool.

So even if it was the really tall Vengeance RAM (there was low profile models too) it will fit that little rajintek cooler as its small.

Does your system seem better to you than the rest on here?

 

[Rorytymon]

Ok I'm lost abut what you said lol, if you were me which would you do?

 

[Rorytymon]

And not the nvidia

Very nice indeed.

I think I'll go with this, can I upgrade the GPU to the 970? I've been on the internet all day and seem to be getting somewhere and I like the looks of this!

 

[Rorytymon]

Also that tower is ugly is there a better looking one anywhere? I guess that means changing the cooler too though

This one seems nice maybe a bit to brash though? What's your opinion?
I was thinking about upgrading the graphics now for the extra bit of money instead of upgrading possibly within a year or so, that's my train of though it might not make sense though lol

 

[Rorytymon]

Cool, do you think then I don't need the added cooling bit?

 

[Rorytymon]

Thanks for all the help, im99% sure I'll get this! would you get this? With my case and my GPU

 

[Rorytymon]

Hi guys just about to start ordering, is anyone else got any last minute deviations from what we've decided

 

[Rorytymon]

Sorry mate I didn't see your reply on my stupid ipaD lol thanks for all your help is there any guide to help me build the PC when it comes? Do I need screws or anything like that glue?
