I am considering getting a gaming pc. My budget is £1000 (with out VAT).
What do to recommend from that site or any other site?

Not getting alienware

Build your own, I regret not building it myself. I'm sure others would agree.

I built my own, and definitely didn't regret it. I would recommend you do the same.

Your be surprised on what you can actually build and get from a machine if you do purchase the parts and self build. Assuming you don't need a monitor, mouse and keyboard replacement £1k can build you a beast. But the machine im looking to build which is pretty much on par with a friends machine comes to about £850ish with some overclocking viable too!

If you've been shown how to build one build one, if not you'll probably **** up the parts with static when you try and put them in.

I got a laptop for 600 squid that can play skyrim on, ultra, so really you needn't pay high prices.

They have everything you need and you can ask them about what you should buy. I'll always recommend em :>

**, pick up a fifteen pound book on how to build a computer. And then before you start building touch a radiator to disperse static (And don't wear socks).

Difference?

Also static? If I do what you say, touch a radiator and don't wear socks will that prevent any static messing up the parts?

Lastly do you have any recommendation for the parts?
