Hi, just looking to see if anyone could come up with a cheap(ish) build of a pc for my girlfriend.
All she wants to do on it is primarily general internet surfing, but occasionally use games like Sims 3 / GTA 4 etc although they dont have to be on the top settings.
Just wondering on a price?.
Need everything apart from the keyboard, mouse and monitor
Thanks in advance

Edit: we looked at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-265-OK but seems the onboard graphics couldnt handle GTA 4, otherwise that kind of build seemed great

I presume you need a operating system too?

once you add win7 home 64bit and the GTX430 option to the above system then the total is £336

The main problem with GTA4 is that it really does need a quad core CPU.
 
Sorry, forgot to say the operating system wouldnt be needed
Edit: she just told me that its not gta4, its vice city
 
Vice citys the older one right? The one before gta4? If it is you should be olay with the onboard graphics, my hd 2100 in my mobo could run it, and that chip was pretty crap... :p
 
yeah its that crocket and tubbs inspired game.

I seam to remember playing it on something that would be rubbish by todays standards.
 
Yeah its the one before GTA4 :)
Also, yeah she must think she is "gangstah" or something :o lol, better than having one that whines when you play games though :p
 
What's your absolute max budget? Are you after pre-built or is building a system an option? Are second hand parts an option? Future upgrades important?
