Hi all, after months of nagging, my other half has given me the go ahead to buy a new computer... or in this case build my first 
.. this will be my first build and have a budget of £600.. (I was able to sell this to her as good price for a PC 
- based on the price of my old Dell 8400 P4; ATI XT800 3GB ram 3.2Ghz HT) which cost £1000+ way back then !)
After reading through a lot of forums and trying to increase my knowledge of Parts and components etc. I must admit, the various choices are confusing the hell out of me
so i thought if in doubt - ASK!
i currently use my PC as a media centre playing BluRay, Streaming media around the house and also for Video Editing and Work.. I dont use the PC for Gaming.. (I leave that to the xbox)..
So, I basically trying to build a high performance (quiet as possible) PC with the ability of HD playback multi tasking..and power to video edit etc..
So Far i have put together the following components..
which Totals £611.83..
would anyone be able to advise on any alterations you would make to the above..
- even if you would choose completely different components... additions/revisions.. etc..
thanking you all in advance,..
looking forward to my first build!
Cheers
Jason
