Hi all I have currently had a little accident with my current PC I have claimed through the insurance and they have given me £554.67 to spen on replacing it, the only problem is that they gave me two ways to do this 1) buy parts myself and send them receipts and they will send me the money (I dont have the money to do this - 2) get a shop to send the prices of the parts I want to the insurance and the insurance will pay them direct (WOULD OC DO THIS).

Ok so if all this gows ahead can you guys recommend me a PC, it would be mainly used for CAD 2D & 3D drawing, Video Encoding, DVD & CD Burning, Games and other general work including browsing the net, I would like a good overclocker as I have never really got into overclocking but now I would like to, I currently have a screen, keyboard and other accessories.

my current pc is
DFi NF4 Lanparty Board
AMD Athlon 64 3800
1536mb Ram
820gig HDD space
ATi Radeon xt1950 xt
DVD RW

As anyone claimed on there house insurance and have had to do it like this, I would have prefered the money so I could buy the bits second hand from the MM.

This is what I would get for the money. You have a quadcore for the encoding etc, and a good graphics card for gaming. You get free shipping so take £11 off that price :)

Oh and this, if your going to overclock the CPU

why cant the insureance company give you the money? As you can tell, too young to have delt with such matters before :) And the above spec looks alright. Probably go E8400 tho.

Not sure mate, insurance companies never make things easy.

So what you think happies reccomendation or the E8400 and whats the pros & cons between the two.
 
If I get a Q6700 from OC how do I know if I am going to get o good clocker is there different steps ?

Also what's the best board and memory to pair with the Q6700 to get the best overclock ?

ok chears Happy

So is there any OC staff on here who can tell me if they can contact the insurance with the prices if I give them a list of the parts I want to order, I have sent an email from the OC website but am not sure of how good they are at replying, I would like to get these parts ordered today.
 
Ok I am very dissapointed after hearing good reports from people who have brought from OC and being a member on here for over 4 years. I have had an email back from OC saying they wont do this order for me because they dont deal with insurance companies, all they have to do is email/fax them a list of the prices on a letter headed paper and the insurance will pay them, its that simple.
