Out of the loop - looking for a system for some media/gaming.

[Kristoph]

Hey,

I've had a laptop for the last 3 or so years and before that my last PC was an AMD Athlon 3200xp

I'm looking to pick up some parts over the next few months, so therefore it's not essential that it is all the latest gear.


Looking for something for media and gaming, so needs to cope with HD films and some of the latest releases.

Budget would be around £500 with the idea of spending ~£150-200 a month over the next 3 months and slowly build it.

Any specs or build recommendations?

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the tips. Didn't really think straight, I think I was just liking the idea of seeing it slowly take form. But like you said, I may aswell save it - who knows - I might not want to spend it on that when the time comes! I'll take a look at the thread when I get on my laptop, thanks again.
