|  building a computer
Ive recently found a few computers for around the £550 price but ive been told i can get alot better if i build one. Wondering if anyone knows a uk shop that will build the system for you with the parts you bought ?
If you do can you also help me choose what parts to choose ? |

just put it together yourself man. It's so easy. If it doesnt fit then it doesn't go there.

Hold off and get the 8800GT it will be cheaper and faster. Also spend the extra money and get ddr2 800 memory. Also check out the AMD black edition, its supposed to be one of the best price/performance cpus right now as far as AMD cpus go

Or if you just want a no hassle pre-built PC overclockers.co.uk does great prebuilt and preoverclocked systems.
Something like this "Ultima OC 8800GTS" Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz @ X6950+ 3.30GHz+ Quad Core SILENT DDR2 System
But if you choose this route I would advise waiting til next week for 8800GT systems.

well if i was you, you could save a few pounds like on ur dvd rewriter, why dont you buy an oem version cos u will get the ide or sata cables included with your mobo, unless your bothered bout the bundled software which is not include on all retail. Oyea IDE is also known as PATA, just incase you wonder what it means
