Tweezy Posted August 28, 2009 Content Count: 3791 Joined: 08/08/09 Status: Offline Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Hi, ive decided to build a new computer from scartch, it's not going to be one of these products when you buy all the hardware in one big BULK and connect to the case in a matter of hours, so you can use it the next day. I'm going to be working on this when i have the money and stuff, it's going to be top of the range comp, so all the most exspensive stuff like motherboards and shit. So im wondering, what should i buy? Or stay away from? I'm in need of everything from a case, to a soundcard! So, im going to be using the comp im on at the time being for general gaming, but im going to take it easy because, i know it's on it's way to the grave. Any advice would be AMAZING! Thanks in advance guys! ~Tweezy (When i get some info and shit, ill keep this updated with what will go into it!) I don't really want to go over £600 ------------- What im looking to buy ------------- Motherboard - Ram - Graphic card - Processor - Case - Cooling system - Power Pack - Hard Drive - Disk Drive - (If ive missed anything out, please say ) Current comp specs are in the attachment.
