Hi guys, new to these forums, be gentle!

Cracking site here and loving the prices etc.

Anyways, onto my problem, since the OCuK webnote don't work on sundays I'm posting here to see if anyone can shed some light.

Emailed yesterday about getting my custom pc components put together and fired out to myself, not sure I have the expertise atm the put all the pieces together.

All of the components are compatible (can post a list if needed) and i'm just wondering how much would that cost all in?

Thanks in advance. Alan
 
Now that's a quick reply :)

Another question, I hope this sparks debate!

XP or Vista on this new system? I'd be hoping to run 4Gb mem so 64 bit OS's can do.
 
thanks for the info, can you link me to the building threads plx :P

I have basic knowledge its just the whole start for first time etc :)

High-End Gaming, browsing intaweb, normal stuff, want something that kinda 'future-proof' for a few years.

Whats wrong with the MoBo atm? MoBo's arent my speciality atm.

Wudnt be thinking of double gfx cards in near future.

Back again, will the Components with OEM spec cause problems in a new system?
 
Cheers for all this info guys, think it'll help building a pc to know whats wrong with it etc.

Now i need to flip a coin for XP or Vista lol
 
Snap question/vote ; on a new PC build i'm vouching for Vista Home Premium 64-bit, but do I go OEM and save money?
