depends really on what you are planning or hoping to do with the pc? when you say you need everything, do you need perihperals, kb, mouse monitor on top of the actual pc?

At 100 posts you will lose the nasty P&P. So feel free to tell us more about what the machine is needed for.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i3-2100 3.10GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £95.99
1 x MSI HD 6850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £89.99
1 x Gigabyte H61MA-D3V Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £47.99
1 x OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £46.98
1 x GeIL Dragon 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (GD38GB1600C11DC) £37.99
Total : £318.94 (includes shipping : FREE).



Something like that would make a great budget gaming rig. This mobo also has sataIII support as well as USB3. Because it only has two RAM slots i'd do my best to fill them with 8GB from the start if you can.

That looks perfect its just for a friend all he plays is Wow, Dead or alive, Modern Warfare.. etc but hes trying to play it on a really old desktop so I've convinced him he can spend about £300 and get a fairly decent computer, i don't think i would reach 100 posts today but thanks :P, very much appreciated for your help just one quick question because he was looking at this?

is this a bad computer/deal?
