It's the best I have ever had...

Ok, look here for pre-ordering Windows 7 (£50 for Home Premium) http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/...pre-order.aspx



That's around £865 so far (including Windows). This does not include a case, keyboard or mouse as you may not like what I like.

Look at cases here: http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Components/cat/Cases
Keyboards & mice: http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Peripher...yboards-&-Mice

Expect the total cost to be around £920-970 depending on how expensive you go with the case etc.

You may want to buy a SSD to put your operating system & program files on, which would make booting the PC and loading programs very fast.

Why 8GB RAM, Nick?

Why 8GB RAM, Nick?

Future proof and at this price, why not?

[Jahova]

I see. Ok, well good luck with your build.

[Niall!]

Aww man you're lucky, I've only got 600 quid saved for a gaming PC and I'm currently out of a job.

The other problem I have is, even if I bought these components, I wouldn't be able to build it as I am clueless about that.

Does anyone have any guides or anything?

Mesh computers are good if you are nervous about building your own. What you should do is buy all the parts from the same place for ease and also so you know it's secure. eBuyer is great for it. Also, if you take a look at my threads and look at my PC build, you can take my £530 build and then customize it to what you want, if you would like that.

I'll have a look, thanks Tom!

Looks very nice. Not sure on the pricetag though (Mind you I don't know the average price anyway)! What is so could about it may I ask?

Thanks very much Nick, the case as far as it looks smart (I am tempted by lighting (like on Alienware products)

Apart from the computer loading faster, what else would I get with Windows 7?

Thanks again!

The money bit is just because I am fortuante to be in a fairly wealthy family. And the components etc, my sisters boyfriend works with computers (hence how I can manage to build my own!) As far as I know its actually fairly straight forward for the most part. E.G. The Motherboard is quite straight forward to use, as RAm will only fit in the right place.

This might help slightly;

I am also temted to start playing Flight Simulator. Would your build be good enough for this Nick? Cheers!

Youtube is your friend. I watched a load of videos on how to build your own PC and a month later I did it without any troubles.. Go for it!

[AgnesIO]

Oh god

Just seen Blu-Ray and HD-DVD combo drives

This price is gonna get steep

I will Ill stick to a normal drive (But perhaps get two, since I cannot stand having one)

Yes, easily for flight sim.

And with cases I tend to go for something fairly cheap and plain as I don't like silly lights to distract me and I'm not particularly bothered about how it looks, which is why I'm not choosing one. Keyboard and mouse is also personal preference. Look to spend between £25-70 for both. I don't know whether you want a wireless stuff or not?
