New PC, need help!

[scottish]

You can send it back to any store, and all parts are covered by guarantees from both the store (i.e. ocuk) and manufacturer..

So that's no excuse for not making your own

Anyone can build a PC.

AMD Radeon™ HD 7570 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card - is this a good graphics card?

[scottish]

68xx 69xx 78xx 79xx are the ATIs higher end cards.

[Stephen!]

Remember on these pre-build PC's upgrading the graphics card will void the warranty. Most of them have a warranty sticker on the side panel which you have to break in order to open them up.

1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 545 - is that a good graphics card?

[Stephen!]

Oooh, like the look of that one.

1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 545	edit
MEMORY	8GB 1333MHz (2x4GB) Dual Channel Memory Are these specs any good?

[Stephen!]

The GT 545 is a low power card.

Memory is OK.

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ is a good place to see if graphics cards and processors are any good.

Wireless Networking

Does your PC reside in the same room as your wireless router? If not you will need one of our excellent wireless PCI cards to connect to the internet!

Do I need this? Surely it will have WiFi incorporated into it?
