Building a PC from scratch!

[Luke]

umm £200-300 is a bit on the cheap side...

if you look to pay £550 you could get a decent computer which will still be fully working and quick in 3 - 5 years time.

leave the guy alone,

it's not to less,
i have:
2.4ghz dual core
400gb HDD
8600
2gb ram

i got that for less than £200

don't listen to darren, he just tries to put EVEYRONE down and thinks he is the master of every task :blue_doub

Thankyou very much! I'll probably get some of this +REP.

[Luke]

no problem

that is quite a decent computer, so you could play some good games on there.

i'd recoemend some case fans though, didn't include them ;P

[Excellent1]

Yeah I saw that, ordered 2 extra fans on the case

You do realise that mhz/ghz doesn't = performance?

a 3.0ghz Pentium 4 is not as good as even a 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo.

[Luke]

yeh, jsut to add onto above post.

3ghz is only a single core

whereas the 2.4 is a dual core which realy makes it 4.8

(if this is wrong please say, just that's what i was told lol)

[Stephen!]

a 2.4Ghz dual core, is still only 2.4Ghz. Not 4.8

You ordered the parts above? It's not a particularly good selection. For that proce range an AMD X2 will probably be the best bang for buck. If you've not already bought anything let us know and we'll spec something a bit better.
