Hey,

Last night i was on my PC playing Hitman Bloodmoney,

tonight i wake up and my PC wont even turn on,

I cant be bothered to fix it... its probably either motherboard, cpu or the power supply that has died.

I told my mum and she said she would just buy a new PC.

I told her that to save money i will keep my old:

Sound card, network card and hard drives... (sata)

So from you guys i need good components at a reasonable price...

I need:
Graphics card
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
Power supply
Case

I have looked on overclockers.co.uk

and found all those components for £780

I was wondering if you guys could help me find a better website and a better price?

Your help would mean alot to me,

Thank you in advance.

I dont want a cheap pc neither do i want an expensive one.

I have a few components as stated above to save money.

Thank you!

You dont need to spend that much for a high performance dual core pc.

You could knock £200 off that and still get a good system. Have a look at ocuk component bundles, sometimes they have some good prices and are good as a benchmark for what you want - dont think they have any bundles with the wolfdale cpu yet though.

edit. oh and go easy on the ram/mobo if you arent overclocking, depends what you want to do with your system really as to what you should buy. What are your common tasks/games/etc & will you be ocing.

all i can say on this matter is that panda is the man to talk to john. I got all my new dual core, ATI 3870 and some sick motherboard for a really good price via him.... I didn't do it through the internet but he told me the right prices and I found a good deal at a PC fair.

Sorry i couldnt help you more john - SPEAK TO PANDA.
