Your friendly neighbourhood knowledge leech.
@Crofty
Edit: I'll only order from Britain.
Anyone? =(
Well first of all, if they will deliver to you, think they should, then get almost everything from here, it is the cheapest place i have ever seen for everything electronical...
They do Xbox 360 games for £35, thats like £15 below the RRP
Scan
Right the main parts you will need:
Mothorboard (£80)
Processor, at least 800MHZ for smooth computing (Ranges a lot)
Graphics card, at least 128mb for smooth computing (£40)
Sound card (not sure)
Case, well duh lol (£10?)
Hard Drive (not sure)
CD Reader/writer thingy me bob (not sure)
There will be more but im not in a thinking mood right now :(
What type of pc you looking to build, good for gaming? just general shit?
Gaming / fast. :D Lol >.<
Hmm what about a modem.. i take it that's different to my internet one.
And also - will all this come with cables? ( hopefully ^_^ )
get BEER!
...
Ok so i have a list of what i need.
NOw... processors.. what are intel Xeon? Anyways.... AMD or Intel?
AMD motherboards seem to look better but i have no idea :D
I've kinda got a list of stuff based on my interpretations of prices etc... But i don't really know much. So could you check it out, see if it'll work together ... and if i missed anything out.
Motherboard:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=176393
This one looks pretty good. Got all the slots, and it's Nvidia.. so i guess it'll work well with gaming? 2.0ghz is pretty good also isn't it? :P
Graphics Card:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=314611
Well .. something along these lines. Not sure about clock speed. Maybe get something higher... but i'll see how far out of my budget that reaches :P
Processor:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=212077
I guess this is a good processor? :S I'm not too sure on processors.
Hard Drive:(I'm not sure what type this supports... or the case i'll get or whatever... so i'll leave this blank.)
Drivers: ( i need a CD-Rw , and a CD Rom , Yeh? -- If so: )
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=170714 - Cd Rom
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=257608 - CD Rw.
Case: ( i guess you'll know if it's the right case. And what hard drive fits, i chose IDE for other parts.. so shall i get a IDE Hard drive. And will that fit with this case [/noob]
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=197601
Sound Card: ( i picked a middle of the price range one.. PCI so i know it'll fit - haha )
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=322306
Modem Meh i have a modem. And i'll get wireless. Unless this means something else in hardware terms.. but i don't think it does.
Memory - I think this is DDR ram. It says on the motherboard link but i'm not sure. Can you check it out. IT says it supports dual ram.. so i'll get a dual 512mb (1gb) of ram.
Basically. Help with the types. I think i've got everything in there. And i've saved all the links etc... this is pretty much the setup i wanna get. BUT. I need to price it , maybe i can get more for my money . Or i need to downgrade... And also. Have i missed anything out? Made any mistakes ( with hard drive / case / mother board / IDE . Whatever IDE is. )
Thanks alot :D :D :D

I'd go for a more powerful graphics card, are you an ati or nvidia man?
High speed processor is essential and to be honest amd is more reliable than intel, go with amd.
Get a hard drive supported by your motherboard!!
Either get one big one or two medium's, i got two mediums, i can kinda organise work and play. Is good :)
A high speed dvd writer, reader, cd writer, etc, is what you need if you wana burn all those illegally downloaded dvd's onto a disk :P
I'd get two, so you can copy the image of a disc directly.
Case: Fuck that case, you want a proper modded out case with led lights and neons/cathodes. Case is very important to me. I'd reckomend looking at case's from places like ebuyer (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...uct_uid=101091 <-- awesome case) Also, make sure the psu is powerful enough to run all these high powered pci cards etc :P
A lil lcd display of processor heat etc is always great to have on a case.
DEFINATELY need a great sound card, i got my 7.1 off amazon, like a tener or something and the sound is fucking dreamy. Don't spend lots on a sound card.
Modem, 56k modem?! I got a spare one if you want it... im presuming you mean a 56k modem... but this seems strange that anyone is on dial up nowadays.
Make sure the ram on your motherboard is paired up correctly, eg, dont get 128 a 64 and a 512 sticks and shove them all in, you either need like 2 512's and 2 1 gig's or 2 1 gig's or 2 512's ... r w/e, u get me... Get alot of ram. And good quality. I'd advise 2 gigs to be honest.
And i believe IDE is the type of harddrive connection to the motherboard :P
Also, you gota be careful when putting all these thigns together...
You built a computer before?
noep but i thought about it once :P
Hmm. Did ye check out the stuff on there yeh?
Well.. the motherboard is fine then... and a hard drive.. i'll get a 200gig / 120 gig one.
The sound card i posted was a 7.1 , so i'll use that.
The processor was AMD>
Did you view the links lol :P
yes, yes i did.
did you read my extremely helpful post? :P
i think all your questions are answered in it :D
