Decent PC with large monitor

[bigdavecox90]

Looking at getting a new desktop to go in my room.

I've got all techy recently :S

But yeah anyway, needs to be able to play Football Manager 2009, and then do the usuals, internet browsing etc.

But yeah, I quite like the idea of having one of the large smart looking monitors?

Can anyone help me out a bit? :)

How much are you looking at spending and do you want to custom build or buy pore built. Is online store ok or does it have to be from a shop you can go to?

Not really sure mate, but I can't build myself, never done before.

It's very easy i'm sure theres loads of guides telling you detailed steps how to, whats budget?

I'm not really sure mate, was just seeing what I could get for my money really. Or what sort of deals were around?

[scottish]

I'd personally suggest a custom build :P

But if I don't know what I am doing?

[scottish]

It's very easy to find out how to, search youtube for videos like "How to custom build a PC" or something i'm sure there'll be guides ;)

But then I wouldn't even know what bits and pieces I would be looking to use mate?

[Wootzeh]

I could suggest loads of systems but can you atleast give a rough budget lol like max you'd spend?

[scottish]

If you wanted custom build theres not tons of pieces you need;

Hard drive
Power supply
Case
motherboard
Processor
RAM
Graphics card (if not inbuilt)
DVD drive
Sound card (if no inbuilt)

You'd maybe need a SATA cable if you didn't get one with motherboard

Tell us ehat you're looking to spend and i'm sure someone will be able to find a reasonable deal for that sort of price.

What sort of size monitor are you looking at? I'm guessing somewhere between 19"-24"?

Scot, if he doesn't want to custom build then leave it lol.

In a way I don't even know what a sensible budget is for what I've asked for?

[scottish]

I'm not forcing him, i'm just saying no point putting it aside because he can't be bothered finding out about it ;)

If you want any computing system you must give us a budget.

Is £200 sensible or not?

[scottish]

You don't get a budge tthats sensible (obviously with exceptions you wouldnt have a £3000 budget for a internet browsing computer)

Your budget is what you have available to buy, if you only have 200 then thats your budget.. so just have to say whatever you got :P

[N!ck]

How much you looking at spending on a monitor or is that included in the £200 :S.

No, I quite like the look of the Samsung monitors.

[scottish]

Monitor depending on size will be about
22" is about 100-200
24" ........... 200-300
19" ........... 70-120

something like that :P

I recently bought a 22" LG monitor from ebuyer.com, which is going well. Watched a good few movies on it at this stage, looks decent.

Comes with a 3yr on-site warranty as well.,

ebuyer.com also sell computer components at good prices, it would be a good idea to check out what they have to offer.
