:D Sup people, I used to build machines all the time, then I started to find that buying them already done was cheaper for me, is this still the case? I want to build a pc that’s is crazy fast and compatible (with itself and all its parts, no conflictions)
I want to be able to play games on it, design big files in Photoshop with it, also create music, so I need it pretty powerful, I will be editing videos on it and converting video's so I need some power, also a DVD writer and possibly a TV card, I want some help from you guys because you all know what’s good in the market at the moment, obviously I don’t want to spend too much but as I’m about 2 say this you all are probably going to say 2typical", lol but I want to spend as little as possible to see what beast I can make , I have no budget but I want to spend little, that’s all I know, so will anybody help me build my own pc :)
 
In the absence of a budget this is a fairly cheap PC that will be very fast plus should reach 2.8ghz overclocked easily. I know nothing about TV cards so I just added what looked like a reasonable one. :)

wow thanks, sounds fantastic, i wa slooking more 500 pound, but looking at all the stuff i need it seems its gonna be hard
 
Well you can still knock some money off it, the motherboard below is the same but doesn't have solid capacitors, the case and PSU combo saves you a bit of cash and will be fine provided you don't go too crazy with the overclocking or adding in another more powerful graphics card. You could start off with 1gb Ram as well to save a bit of cash and if you are happy not to overclock really then use the retail heatsink and fan. :)
