Dear Chuds,
Frankily your approach to "requesting help and advice for a pc spec" is awful.
Let me remind you for a second that individuals throughout this forum offer their expert advice and assitance for FREE. They have been playing with these "toys" for many years along the line and like to get straight to the point "i.e. what the hell is your budget" as there are other people like yourself seeking help and advice, so therefore they attempt to help as many people as possible in a short space of time, IRRESPECTIVE of their attitude.
Moreover, the reason I recommended such an advanced spec because deep down over the months / years I have been here I have come across many individuals like yourself who "try to act smart, trying to be save money when its unnecessary" as you are SEEKING help BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY the majority of individuals recommending pc hardware and software to purchase suggest "bang for buck components" . THEY DO NOT SUGGEST THE EXPENSIVEST parts as they are not always required.
Also, please note the mere fact you deem "£350 inappropiate for a graphics card" excessive is irrelevant, the only reason I suggested it once again REPEAT as I knew you would respond in the way you have done so. Hoping that whichever forum you register too and seek advice your requests are "short and sweet" NOT FORGETTING to personally ASSIST forum users in anyway you can which means A) SUGGESTING A BUDGET B) ADVISING WHAT YOU USE YOUR PC FOR C) CONFIRMING WHETHER YOU WILL BE OVERCLOCKING.......Failure to comply and being smart so you "feel you a getting a really good deal" is irrelevant BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS WILL NOT RECOMMEND HIGH PRICED PARTS UNLESS THEY DO NOT HAVE A BUDGET TO FOLLOW!!!!! your method and ideals of how to seek advice are wrong because you are wasting not only your time but other peoples time who could be assiting people who are informative, precise and accurate with help they require...
Furthermore, if you can get the graphics card cheaper then please show me the way, just because you dont think its worth it or you believe people are being HAD means nothing at all......dont you think that the mere fact they are available and at that price MEANS THEIR IS A MARKET???
Lastly, I would like to say how grateful I am for your note of thanks for me TAKING MY TIME TO HELP YOU, even tho your request was unspecific, trying to be a smartass and very mediocre!!!
I hope you find what you are looking for but then OCUK dont upgrade bad attitudes or ungrateful behaviour
Ciao
but only in your confused eyes...
