Your friendly neighbourhood knowledge leech.

@Crofty

Edit: I'll only order from Britain.

[Dale]

Anyone? =(

[Ben]

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?

[Dale]

Gaming / fast. Lol >.<

Hmm what about a modem.. i take it that&#39;s different to my internet one.

And also - will all this come with cables? ( hopefully ^_^ )

[Dick]

get BEER&#33;

...


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

[Dale]

I&#39;ve kinda got a list of stuff based on my interpretations of prices etc... But i don&#39;t really know much. So could you check it out, see if it&#39;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&#39;s Nvidia.. so i guess it&#39;ll work well with gaming? 2.0ghz is pretty good also isn&#39;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&#39;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&#39;m not too sure on processors.

Hard Drive:(I&#39;m not sure what type this supports... or the case i&#39;ll get or whatever... so i&#39;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&#39;ll know if it&#39;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&#39;ll fit - haha )
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=322306

Modem Meh i have a modem. And i&#39;ll get wireless. Unless this means something else in hardware terms.. but i don&#39;t think it does.

Memory - I think this is DDR ram. It says on the motherboard link but i&#39;m not sure. Can you check it out. IT says it supports dual ram.. so i&#39;ll get a dual 512mb (1gb) of ram.

Basically. Help with the types. I think i&#39;ve got everything in there. And i&#39;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

I&#39;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&#33;&#33;

Either get one big one or two medium&#39;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&#39;s onto a disk :P

I&#39;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&#39;d reckomend looking at case&#39;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&#39;t spend lots on a sound card.

Modem, 56k modem?&#33; 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&#39;s and 2 1 gig&#39;s or 2 1 gig&#39;s or 2 512&#39;s ... r w/e, u get me... Get alot of ram. And good quality. I&#39;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?

[Dale]

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&#39;ll get a 200gig / 120 gig one.

The sound card i posted was a 7.1 , so i&#39;ll use that.

The processor was AMD>


Did you view the links lol :P

[Sp0rk-eh]

yes, yes i did.

did you read my extremely helpful post? :P

i think all your questions are answered in it
