Gaming machine

[Andys]

Hey, just wondering if anyone can find me some decent parts for a custom built gaming desktop?

As cheap as you can please.
Will be used to play Call of Duty 6, GTA:IV etc.

Thanks!

Do you need a monitor / keyboard / mouse / speakers?

Budget? :)

[Andys]

Not sure how much I'll have to spend, but as I said in the first post, as cheap as possible.

NewEgg.com; has all of the parts you will need.
I can also refer you to someone if you need assistance with finding the perfect parts.
PM for my MSN.

If you post a max budget I can help - otherwise I cannot. I mean a small budget for me would be £900-£1000 which is why I am asking :)

arbico.co.uk simple enough :)

Probably about £300-400ish?

Cant get much of a gaming pc for that, however just make sure you look around. Every time I've found a component I want I've always managed to find it cheaper on another site - don't let them put you off with silly deals that don't make sense. I recommend checking out www.aria.co.uk, www.ebuyer.com and www.scan.co.uk. All of these, in my opinion are great sites for buying components peripherals and accessories.

A nice little AMD build would be ok for that money. I'll maybe look tomorrow.

[Markeh]

I can get you a reasonable-ish PC that would be alright for games (but don't expect miracles such as a Core i7) for £3-400. But I'm busy this morning, so will post specs later this afternoon.

You'll need a quad core to play GTA IV decently.

This I agree with. You will also need a decent graphics card as well minimum of GTS 250 (NVIDIA) not sure about the ATi equivalent .

I was in exactly the same position a few days ago. as I'm building my own at the moment. Worked out that for something that is good enough to play COD 6 and eve on full graphics with room for upgrades and such it's cost me £550 for the components, £100 for the case and 650w power supply, £52 on a G11 Logitech keyboard and will cost another £150 for another monitor to run with this one. So for a basic computer 300 is enough which was my origional budget but I really suggest going up a noch because the upgrading cababilities will let you use the machine for a good few years. x
