Hey,

Sorry this should be my final question.

I now have Around £125 to get a decent graphics card for my pc. It would preferabl be £100 - £150 - no more.

Any links from eBuyer or dabs as a reccomendation? :)

Cheers!

This. It's massive mind you so check the dimensions of your case before you try to buy it, but its a bloody good card.

I would go with the one Ryan suggested I have the one down from that, the GTS 250 and it fits in my regular mid-tower case perfectly.

Would 216 core be a better buy then?

I would highly recommend this graphics card

I can play crysis warhead on gamer settings and x4 AA on with a perfectly smooth fps
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/10500348/Sapphire-Radeon-HD-4870-1GB-PCI-Express-2-0-Graphics-Card/Product.html

Its close to the price of the others but its a highly rated card with great performance!
Btw im running a 1650 x 1050 screen which would be just under or just over the resolution of a screen you would be getting.
Its a large card aswel so make sure your case can fit it in, also think about the psu cable lengths and where the psu houses in your case because it can give you alot of troubles if you get it wrong, I learnt the hard way lol.
edit: It also comes with brilliant software which can let you overclock it straight out the box without worrying about overheating as it shows you everything and will stop you before you begin to blow anything up :) Also I think you were looking at asus mb's which I really like aswel, the software you get with asus mb's really compliment this gfx card.

Same with a custom built one :S Both pre-made and custom built PCs use similar sort of components, and the components go out of date quickly... And of course it would become redundant in a few years, why regret buying something in the present when it will be outdated "in a few years". May as well not buy anything for the fear of it becoming redundent!

Yeh but making your own does a number of things:


Makes you feel like it 'yours' a little bit more.
Fun
You still save £63 :P
I don't want to hit the £1000 mark if possible.
Quality of components is likely not to be so good with a already made one, as you are mainly paying for the brand (dell/sony/hp etc)
Just my opinion :)

the whole point of getting a custom pc is that it can be modified! When a component you have becomes outdated you can simply add to it or replace it with a newer one without the need of purchasing a whole new PC.

Manufactured pc's from dell and the likes leave literally no space for upgrading, usually use a completely unknown form factor for the components and besides, in manufactured pc's you will be getting 8 gigs of ram when they say you are but the quality of the product you are getting you have no choice over, when picking 8 gigs of ram for a custom pc you can check the overclockability, if it has a heatsink and the quality and durability of a product instead of just seeing that it has 8 gigs of ram and being content.

...You can do this with one in the shop? My Advent PC from PC World has a Graphics Card I added myself, and there was plenty of room... You make it look as though NO pre-made computers can be upgraded, when infact most are/all can be :/

I think you're going off the point, you said that a pre-made PC would become redundant, so would a custom built PC. Both can be upgraded, you're generalising that all pre-made PCs can't be upgraded because the manfacteurers leave no room for upgrades, even though all my PCs have been upgraded. In fact, RAM can be upgraded on most, if not, ALL pre-made PCs - it's very unlikely a computer company would cover up RAM slots considering they usually stick upwards (when placed on the side). Graphics cards are the only thing that maybe of some concern, because some can be incredibly long, though it's very unlikely that the case of a pre-made PC would be too small to fit it and most of the time the solution is moving some wires around...

Anyway, I feel this conversation is getting in the way of Dom's thread. Sorry about that Dom :P

You must have got lucky then because most manufacturers get cases that are large enough for the parts they have put in instead of what people could put in in the future and I wouldn't like to update a motherboard plus cpu in a manufactured pc, that would be hell.

Oh an besides just opening up the case of a manufactured pc voids the warranty lol

You dont get a warranty at all on a custom build so whats your point? Go for the cheapest way to get the parts you need, be it putting em together yourself or buying em pre assembled o.0

Cases are cheap anyway, if you gonna change a mobo, you may as well just buy a whole new pc and leave the old one, in its case as it is. Other than usb 3.0 etc cant think of much thats likely to change on mobos in the near future anyway o.0

Yes, indeed they can have warranties. Just because the components can have a warranty, it does not mean they do. I'm not the one claiming every pre-built pc comes with a non-standard size mobo, or that opening the case of em voids any warranty (which has been pointed out to be untrue, at least with the majority of standard manufactures)

Oh sorry for using my personal knowledge of working at a computer sales store at which I spent time sticking those stickers on such PC's. Just looking at two dell pc's and an advent pc in my house they all have holographic stickers on them stating that if this seal is broken the warranty will be void.
And it's a legal requirement to offer a warranty with a product, whether it be an express warranty or an implied warranty companies cant just sell products "as is" unless were talking about market stalls lol.

Last point: Why do you constantly feel the need to shove words into my mouth, Manufactured pc's are more likely to use non standardised mobo sizes in pc's as they are looking to sell a pc as it is, not one that can be customised afterwards. Manufactured pc's are sold to a mainstream audience, my grandma recently bought a manufactured pc from dell, she will not even be thinking about upgrading her pc afterwards. Manufacturers know that they will also be dealing with these people and build accordingly, manufacturers who build parts know they won't have this problem.

In no way shape or form are those examples as best adapted to upgrading as a custom built pc that I have thought about and considered how future proof it is. Oh and besides, dell isnt even as kind as to show the mobo's form factor, great so I won't even know the mobo form factor untill I've bought it :L

And for 2 and 4 you picked the products targetted at people who aren't so computer savvy, in actual fact I should think number 4 is upgradable, possibly even number 2 to an extent.

I have NEVER Seen these holographic warranty stickers on, please do post pictures? "Your personal knowledge" is like me saying I know about air traffic control because I did two weeks work experiance in a control tower, just no.

Flisker upgraded his Dell from changing the case, to the RAM, to the PSU and GPU, just as an example.

I have just found Dell do indeed use ATX, mATX and BTX motherboards, all of which are standards.

Wow, thats odd, none of the dells or advents i own have these stickers. Maybe since my prebuilt computers came in the box's you did have a chance to stick your stickers on them...

Generally the manufacture does the warrenty, not the seller, so why you in a sales job are attaching these stickers i dont know.

Actually, no. just no. Your talking out your ass here. A warranty is not required and is often sold as an extra. It is in addition to your normal statutory rights.

Yea... atx aint the only mobo size, they all look standard to me. Pc's use standard components as they are cheaper, easier to work with and saves dell having to create a new manufacturing plant every time they wana do a new pc range.

Seeing as a cpu generally covers at least a 3rd of a pc's total cost, and the mobo especially in i7's not far behind, if your gonna pretty much be buying a new pc, why not just buy a new one and have two instead of scraping a perfectly good mobo and cpu? By the time u upgrade em chances are any gfx card you have would be out of date anyway. Tech moves fast after all..

"It’s important to remember that manufacturers’ guarantees are in addition to your statutory responsibilities as a supplier under the Sale of Goods Act. A supplier cannot, for instance, refuse to deal with a customer’s complaint about a faulty product simply on the grounds that the product is outside its guarantee period."
All that means is that guarantee's don't affect your statutory rights, It gives a clear example there, that show's in no way that its not a legal requirement. Meaning that after a guarantee has expired a company still has to see to the customers statutory rights, that does not mean that the guarantee is a non necessary addition.
I'm not going to continue with this, weve moved onto an argument over warranties, I won't be visiting this thread again.

I have 3 of that model, there incredibly easy to upgrade, more so than most stand alone hardware, everything clips in, so you dont have to fiddle around screwing bits in inside the case?

All that means is that guarantee's don't affect your statutory rights, It gives a clear example there, that show's in no way that its not a legal requirement. Meaning that after a guarantee has expired a company still has to see to the customers statutory rights, that does not mean that the guarantee is a non necessary addition.
I'm not going to continue with this, weve moved onto an argument over warranties, I won't be visiting this thread again.
Read down further and it covers warranties under the guarantees section. How you can sell something legally required as an optional extra though, i dont know. The fact products sometimes explicitly state they come with no warranty aslo doesn't help your case.

Finally, i never claimed the warranty void badges didnt exist, just that they aint attached to any of the computers i have brought/obtained in the past. Dell, HP, Zoocom, etc and advents being among them. Didnt you just say you wernt returning to this thread btw?

I shouldnt have been bothered to take that picture and upload it to prove a point in an argument that has changed directions and causes 20 times.

I love it how its nearly identical to the stickers I posted before but you still desperately claimed that they were used for mobile phone boxes, I wish you actually looked as the url which said Case Badges and if you looked at the homepage it was a PC Case dedicated site lol. I don't post things for the fun of it.
Goodbye

I did not claim this, I said they reminded me of, please do be more careful about how you interpret things.
