Need help with new spec please

Unanimated · 5 Mar 2009 at 23:01

I'm looking for a new system that will able run applications such as Visual Studio, Paint Shop Pro and games like COD4 smoothly. My budget is around £400-600, budget might be a tad cheap considering i want this to last a while...i want to buy the parts seperatly.

I don't really need a sound card- onboard is good enough for me

I have an external hdd for my music, pics, college docs so i will only need a 40GB internal hdd.

Things I won't be needing are monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers and case

thanks

Hey all thanks for quick replys

Yeah ro55o i don't need OS forgot to mention that sorry ><

I am probably going to go the Intel route as i am more familar with that than AMD. I will probably order the parts between this and next week.

Oh and is Vista worth the upgrade from XP?

Thanks

Another bump...

So yeah got my parts this morning, chose the one that icey_haj posted but i am having one problem atm. I turn the power on, everything is working apart from the graphics card. i'm using XFX Radeon HD 4850, there is a red light on the graphics card and there is no output from the monitor.

any suggestions?
