Still on XP, look at me give a fuck.

Mine was done with their i3/i5 configurator, so they build it for you.

Kewl kewl, cheers for the suggestions, I'll probs go for that build you suggested then Vox.

No probs :)

This place is near where I stay but they deliver. Its where I buy my computers from

http://www.pless.co.uk/product.php?productid=8143;

£219.00
Quad core
4GB ram
1TB hard drive
DVD RW

All you need to do is add a video card.

EDIT: just keep in mind its an ASROCK motherboard and that don't sit right with some people but if you ask they will change it for whatever board you want and they only charge for parts.

lol no offense taken yes this is the bottom of the barrel of quad cores, nice article btw :)

Cheers, I think it was Piers that showed me that site and article series when I built mine in Febuary last year.

Err just started configuring this myself on Overclockers... only just noticed the processor you suggested is a dual core lol, wouldn't it be wise to get a quad instead? I think the recommended spec for BF3 is a quad core.

Very few games benefit from quad core. Though for future proofing purposes it's probably best to get a quad though.

Ok so I'm going to order this today, just configured it on Overclockers, but for some reason it's slightly different from the last time I configured it, even though I'm trying to copy exactly the configuration Vox posted with the exception of a quad core instead of a dual core, so yeah is this configuration still good:

Looks pretty solid to me.

You going to use your old HDD in the new PC as well as the new one?

I might do actually... if that means I don't have to go to the trouble of getting all the Adobe products all over again, etc.

Unfortunately it doesn't :-P on a new installation of windows you'll have to reinstall them all.

I've got the Adobe CS5 installers, can transfer them over to you at LAN, should be pretty fast and easy.
