Final PC Build

[Chippiewill]

Who thinks this one is cuter?:



Also never use a stock PSU, they always suck except when they don't

Edit: This one is plain old J Bear

It all depends on how much you want to spend .

Preferably not over £200 more?

[AgnesIO]

What sort of PSU do I need to invest in?

Plus Graphics Card I assume you mean anything with a higher price

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134694# is that one any good? Its DDR3 though so it wouldn't work would it?

That's a PSU not a Graphics Card..

that graphics card is..... awful lol

you have got 600 quids worth of a pc and bought a £50 quid graphics card :S which is your playing games is going to be vital!

If your going for Sapphire ATI I would recommend the radeon 4870
Edit: bare in mind that the 4870 1GB is around 120 quid....

Maybe you should look for a manufactured pc here:

just a suggestion

I know, but Nick said I would need a different PSU too.

Hmm as far as Graphic Cards go I don't have a clue what is better.

Any ideas guys?

For the spec I would like though Elliot I would be looking at £1,500+!


EDIT: For operating system should I go for:

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/167589 (Windows 7 Professional)

OR

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/167597 (Home Edition)

Basically: What do you get with Professional that you don't get with home?

[Jahova]

Just make sure it's 64bit. All the Vista copies are the same, except for Ultimate which seems useless (even though I use it).

Get Home Premiom of 7. And pre-order it - it's £50 not £80 or whatever.

For a graphics card look for an ATi 4850, 4870 or 4890. Ideally thr 4870 or above. PSU you want a decent branded one. Probably about 500-600W.

Something like one of these:

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132563
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134696
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127861

Don't but a cheap PSU, it's not worth the trouble/risk.

actually it really wouldn't be 1500

The graphics card I told you was the second most expensive part of my pc, coming after the CPU. And honestly, you have 8gb of ram? :S That is useless for you atm, with your other specs your computer would hardly touch 4gb of ram which imo is a big waste of money, money that could be used upgrading a necessary component.

I wouldn't get 7 just yet, for a new pc anyway has just after you get your OS set up the way you want it you will have to move it all again when 7 actually comes out. I would recommend Vista 64bit Home Premium or higher.

EDIT: o and btw I just remembered, as your using 8 gigs of ram you will need a 64bit operating system otherwise it will only recognise 3.8 gigs of ram tops making your other 4.2 useless and unused to you, even if you got 4 gigs of ram it would not be maximised without a 64bit os.
