i'm thinking of building a new system from ocuk and would like an idea of the cost.

i'm mainly needing this for work so thought of getting something half decent when win8 is out, but then would like to spend a few extra quids to make it able to play bf3 at decent enough settings and skyrim also.

i need just the machine and internals and win8, no monitor speakers keyboard etc.

how much would i roughly be looking at to get something half decent?

could skimp out event more if you wanted a non modular psu. which would save another £13
 
 
thanks guys. will come back here then when win8 is out and see what's the deal at the time. bit unrelated but does the ocuk finance option allow you to pay no extras if paid off in a set time, e.g. if paid off in the first year or earlier then you'll only pay the exact amount you borrowed?

choose 6 or 12 months without interest i believe
 
sorry to jump into your thread, but, see the finance option, is that set monthly payments, or how does it work? i don't really understand
 
You have to pay £28 quid admin fee if you pay it off before the day monthly payments kick in.

Otherwise it's interest free :)

I did that on my computer last year, took out 1 year finance, and paid it all off the day before interest started hitting. Obviously you have to be firm with yourself and make sure you have the money to pay it off!

Thanks guys, so let's say I have an order of £333 and I choose the 6 month option, I can either wait 6 months then start paying monthly, or I can pay it off before hand with no interest, so let's say I go with that option, can I pay x amount of money of the £333 I owe at any point, like £200 at 3 months in then just before it's due I can pay £133, or can i pay in £65 each month, want to br 100% certain i know before i go ahead :) make sense? :)
