1/So i need: [you fill in]
My total price will be between 0 :P and 500 . preferably £400 ish. BUt i'll pay more... just take longer to get parts etc.
Thanks in advance :D
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
Pretty much. Do you hhave MSN ? C'est easier.
So i should keep -
Motherboard
Processor
Sound Board
Memory (i'll just bookmark a diff one )
Cd rw
Cd rom
I should get -
A hard drive
Cd rom ( extra )
I should change -
Case
Graphics card - To what?
Do you want me to build you a custom pc? I won't assemble it, I'll just make you the parts lists, and cost.
I'll do it if you want. =)
Hmm yeh. Then i can compare it to this :D Thanks.
Im doin what your doin...
cept im salvaging all the parts that are still decent from my current... eg processor, sound card, ram, etc
I KNOW THIS IS A DOUBLE POSTQuote:

I'll build you both custom pc's. They will have atleast, a gig of ram, a 120 gig HD, a decent graphics card, (as they are easily upgradeable). I will put most of my effort into getting you a good mtoherboard and processor. =)
I'll make multiple pc's for your pleasure xD
Go BFG. And Sp0rk-eh. And everyone else who has helped.
I'm getting a 22" monitor :D Or i could just save money and get a 17".. but that would be silly
venices rock,make sure u put one in for him bfg
make up £1000 and i will help you out croft, i think we need a crofty donation fund under that new section :lol:
I've got it now. All the parts list anyways.. i'm gonna get a job in the summer.. 5 hours a day. That's £400 a month.. if i do 5 days.
Anyone wanna see the final Design? :D
yep :D go teh crofty
K. I'll make another new topic in a bit :D . This one is too hefty. =D
Ok make a new topic with your list. Then I'll see if I can build one better for around the same price.
Erm.. you helped me make this one?
Lol.. I'll just make you one. Then post it in a new topic.
Ok.... Lol
