MARSHY needs a computor

[Marshy]

Hey guys i am in desprate need of a new computor and i am now finally getting one ! I have £800 to spend and i am looking for a computor / I DONT CARE ABOUT THE CASE! please free case whatever! i dont want to spend £20 on a case. So if you can find me a computor for £800 then it will help me alot (good for gameing) thx

Q6600 and a 4870/4870x2 and a decent PSU + 600w (enermax/antec) plus do get a £60 case at least for proper ventilation.

Nice small SATA2 HDD go for seagate Barracuda's or Samsung F1's.

Pretty much it and it shouldnt cost £800 as you dont need to spend £600 to get a PC that plays every game these days unless you simply want to waste money.

Spend some of the spare money if you wish on a decent chair and big LCD instead of a 280gtx wasting it for a couple extra 3dmark points.

Is that a computor or just stuff to put in it o.O if thats a comp can you give me a link (i dont do tech talk)

[ez64]

Ah I assumed you were custom building it or having someone do it, but tbh a kid that can build a lego house can do it these day's no trouble.

Save yourself some money and have some fun building it as £800 in retail stores will get you nothing decent.

It's stuff to put in a computer, we highly recommend you build your own. You can't get a case for nothing, like ez said, get a good well ventilated one for ~£60-80, very much within your budget.

Let me suggest this quick list from OCUK, are you wanting to include a monitor/mouse/keyboard? Or do you already have these. If so, what size monitor as it can determine the graphics card you get.




Obviously if you need an operating system, monitor, keyboard etc added in I can change it to incorporate them for under £800. Also, don't be put off by having to build it yourself, it really is a great way to get to know how these things work, and it's very useful to be able to take a PC apart and know what everything does. There are also loads of guides to help you do it.

Can they build it // has it got instructions also yeh XP would help

[Mr.Big]

lol building pc's is easy, but seriously, where u get the damn money xD?

[Calneon]

I really need to know if you have a monitor and what size it is. Do you need an operating system, and mouse/keyboard?

1) My wallet i.e my dad

dude you rich or something?, there are 0.0001% chances my dad would give me that much money

Mine would make me work like hell for that, and then I'd have to bribe him.

Nice little disclaimer there Phantom .

When I can afford a new PC, I'm defo building myself, I'll probably have someone like Midge over who knows what they are doing just to supervise and help out, but to be honest I'm only slightly bamboozled by the cabling, but all of that is one way round so shouldn't be too hard. That and installing drivers (bad experiences of BSOD) are all I would worry about.

Also: Taken from VoX and ez's top tips; RAM is not aerodynamic and the pins on a CPU don't like being bent with pliers...

If you really don't want to build your own PC, then I recommend that you look at the following links:

Set Spec. Gamer Builds: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/produc...=43&catid=1080
Custom Gamer Builds: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/syscon...php?catid=1055

If you don't want to spend more than £800, and don't want to even bother about what is in your system by customising it yourself, then you might want to consider this. Specs are as follows:

- Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) Overclocked to 3.30GHz!
- Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
- HIS ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI PCI-Express
- Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX
- Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache
- LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray Reader & HD-DVD ROM Serial ATA Drive
- OCZ StealthXStream 500w Silent ATX2 Power Supply

For £716.73 inc VAT. Add £50 for XP and you are sorted .

I would say that is a pretty stonking deal, although I would say that it is a shame that there isn't a 4870 in there.

As some of you may know I'm a director at a cybercafe and its my job to build/maintain/upgrade/fix computers.

If you'd consider a computer from T & G Online I can discuss with work and price you one up.

All our systems come with 1 year warranty from us against hardware failure and most components have 3 year manufacturers warranty that we can assist with if you were to buy a computer from us and after over one year a component fails.

BTW our website has only recently been put online and isnt really finalised yet but this is it:

Breaking the T&C with no "designed by" is a bit dodgy just saying.
