Hi all

I am going to buy a new computer, but have been looking at parts and such and there's just soooooooooo many options! Some seem better than others, some might not work together etc, so I need some help please.

I am mainly looking for a PC for gaming, and will then use it for more simple thing like watching movies, listening to music etc.

I would like to spend around 700 pounds, might go upto 800 though. I dont need a screen, and I dont need a speaker system as I have both of these already.

Thanks for any help! :D
 
well here is one with no keyboard mouse OS

but if you need them you can add them and it will be just over 800 quid

keyboard, mouse I have, operating system I have too :)

Thanks Danman! Is that graphics card good enough for the latest and best games? Also is the motherboard definately suitable for a Quad Core processor? Its says this for the motherboard: Supports Intel® Core™ 2 multi-core and upcoming 45nm processors

Looks decent enough to me :) As asked before, do you intend to overclock?

Not too sure on how to do it nowdays to be honest, but I'll read some guides and stuff which I have seen on these forums and have a go at overlocking it a bit. From what I have read about this processor, overclocking to around 3.0-3.2GHz is quite easy without any heating issues.

I'll check out the prices Dan, thanks for the tip :) If they have gone up or down a little its no problem really, can afford a little more if required.
 
Ok, the reason I ask is the CPU cooler is a bit of an overkill if you don't intend to OC. The Artic Freezer pro is half the price and can still get your CPU comfortably upto 3.2GHz should you choose to OC later.
