A good CD writer.

Name your price:)

If you're wanting a custom PC without building it yourself, you're best of buying it through a website/company/shop that will do it for you.

You basically choose what you want each component to be from drop downs. http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/index.php?page=form&&select=intel2

He is. You fancy something to do? lol Charge him £20-25 or something.

His post looks like he is... I think he might actually be asking someone on here to build it for him :S

[Stephen!]

Lol, if he gave me the money/components I would make my own computer and he would never hear from me again.

[Jordy]

I vouch for Stephen, recommended.

[Leetzgirl]

I think he means just get all the stuff and he will order it and do it himself?

yer, im wanting to build me a pc and ill pay them to do it.

[Stephen!]

How exactly would that work? I suppose you would want them to come to your house or something? Because if I were you I wouldn't trust anybody else with my money :P

[Corporal]

Moniter (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144162) - £94

You may as well get a 500GB from the start, they're only like £41 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146252

This RAM is pennies more http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138562

Motherboard http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132275

Will you be needing a DVD-RW drive? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142274

You'll also be needing a case and PSU. It's best not to use a PSU that comes with a case as it will most likely be crap. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/112899

Case - choose what you want. http://www.ebuyer.com/search?store=2&cat=23

That comes to about £522.
Could i not just upgrade the PSU later and the hard drive?

[Leetzgirl]

Download an OS instead.

While you can "upgrade" a hard drive, i wouldn't recommend to and it's easier just to add additional drives in instead. As for PSU, it's your choice, but I advise against using a cheap PSU and so will pretty much everyone else that you ask.

main problem being that it will overheat?

ftw...

That it could blow up even?

[Stephen!]

I would say cheap PSU's are good for cheap systems. Systems that won't be stressing the PSU. Hiper PSU's (one was linked earlier) are decent power supplies, but they get very warm when being even slightly stressed. This will heat up your room and your case like mad. Believe me, I had one.

[Corporal]

hmmm, ill go with a better PSU then and just wait to get a 19" screen.
Btw if i went for this dual core, here (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132064) would it be easy to upgrade to the quad core later in a few months?

[Flisker]

It is so easy to build your own pc you just screw and slot in etc and it works really...

[N!ck]

Yes it would be fairly easy to upgrade the CPU at a later date.

That website is very expensive.

[Corporal]

Why not?


I sell components on E-Bay... Even brand new graphics card which i bought by mistake.

Infact the last selling spree i had in July paid for my holiday at the end of July

[N!ck]

Don't buy a Pentium D either. They're crap.

[Corporal]

Actually i have had another idea
If i went for this
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145780/show_product_overview
could i upgrade the CPU and ram at a later date?

[Leetzgirl]

Why is that so cheap :S?

[Corporal]

Btw can i put my 8600GT grafix card in this?

[Stephen!]

Why is that so cheap :S?

Because it's Celeron.
