New PC

I need some help getting a new PC for around £500-£600 that would play some morden games alright. Also I live in the Uk so there's no point giving me a link togiving me a link to newegg.com.

Thanks!

check out moriz' guide... i think that might be helpful

i think you want the 1000$ configuration

do you need a monitor or any peripheals too???

I need a moniter mouse keyboard and speakers with the computer.

so you want a computer + monitor + mouse + keyboard + speakers for 600£?

well... are you buying from overclockers.co.uk (recommended by me)?
gonna post some links here later
600£ is a bit tight, but it might work if offc you build it yourself and you don't expect
top-of-the-line performance.

EDIT: take a look at this system:

motherboard : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MB-141-AB

memory : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MY-072-OC

case : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...ck%20(No%20PSU)

optical drive : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CD-099-SA

PSU : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CA-026-OC

GPU : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=GX-091-PC

monitor : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MO-098-SA

mouse : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=KB-060-LG

keyboard : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...20(967929-0120)

speakers : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...20(970264-0120)

GRAND TOTAL: 770,36£

i know, over budget. this will destroy anything you throw at it though...

GPU: you could go with the 4850, that's your call.

i went with very basic speakers, but they perform very well. i have them at home too. if you have more room you could go with a 5.1 system, but i bought one too and all 5 speakers are sitting in front of me. again, this is your call.

mouse and keyboard: this is a matter of taste, but the G11 is great. that mouse will suffice for guild wars or any other game.

monitor: 22'', because of the budget. samsung makes great quality monitors though

PSU: it's enough for one 4870, but if you wanna go cfx, then you'd better upgrade to minimum 700w

optical drive: well, don't waste money here. anything, and i mean anything, will do here.

hard drive: samsung spinpoint = quality. 500gb will suffice i think, but if you want you can upgrade to 1 TB.

case: well, here i had to think of the budget again. if you don't like the looks of that case, choose another one, but i'd stick with antec. they just build quality cases.

motherboard + ram + cpu: again, i had to think of the budget. take another cpu if you want, but amd = more bang for the buck. if it's just gaming you wanna do, then i wouldn't recommend quad core with your budget. mobo and ram have same socket and should work.

hope this was helpful

Would the windows vista that came with my dell pc work with a brand new one that im gona build?

yeah it should work

just get 32-bit, because you only have 2gb of ram with my set-up. if you want more memory = 64-bit

22" monitor
VGA: GeForce 9800GTX+
CPU:Intel E5200
MB:some P45 motherboard
Memmory:4GB DDR3
HDD:Seagate 500GB
Any DVD +RW +DL Optical drive
Any Keyboard,mouse,speakers
And a case you like

No, it won't.

If it came with the Dell, then it's licensed to that PC and may not be used on any other.

My apologies for the lack of updates to the UK prices in Moriz's thread - I've been a bit overwhelmed with real-life issues

(Oh, and Dark Horni Worm - OverclockersUK are an excellent company (even if their forum-goers are a bit weird), but they tend to be expensive. Check out the same items at my favourite alternative, http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/)

thanks! i always used overclockers, but it's indeed cheaper there.

Hey Shadow, get this GPU:
