404 is buying a new PC and needs your help, you cunts!

I know this should probably be in the computer forum, but as best I can tell only my Nan goes in there looking for porn. Silly old fool. I will move it in there after a week or so of 'intellectual debate and opinion'

Anyway I'm going to buy a new PC. I'd quite like to be able to output HD video onto my TV and i'd also like to play solitaire once in a while. My budget is about £1,500. So, suggestions please.

GO! GO! GO!


::edit - I'm probably being glib with regards to solitaire. In reality, i'd quite like a machine that can pretty much take any game I throw at it - at least for the next year.

The dell XPS machines are reasonable, but you won't be able to play EVERYTHING you throw at it without some overhaul in some very key places.


My recommendation:

Build your own:

Intel Quad Core 2.5
Asus P5Q Mainboard (supports upgrade to the Extreme Quad proc when the time comes )
2gb OCZ PC1200 DDR2 ram (4 if you decide to run 64bit)
GeForce 9 series video with at least 512, preferably 1gb

pick a case, add 800watt PSU, and Vista (for media and DX10 support)

and pay around $1100 US

guaranteed to play Conan with no issues, and anything else you want to put with it.

<Dwaggy> i caught you a delicious Bass
<The404> This is because you are an idiot

As well as the Dell ebay outlet have a look at the dell outlet that doesn't evolve bidding it a bit more expensive
http://www.dell.co.uk/outlet

for dell's main site have a look for codes at http://www.dmxdimension.com/

http://www.ankermann-pc.com/uk/ also look to have good prices/

If your in wales you can use a store on city road in cardiff that sells parts cheap like mobo, ram etc and they will build it for you for small fee and guarantee it etc..

Alll you do is take it home and install windows of your choice then plug and play


Will have a look for there web addy so you can have a look if you want.
For the money your looking to spend then you can have a top spec machine that can play everything, then when the graphics card gets on you sell it on and plug in a new card and games will continue to flow

Aria.co.uk - well built, reliable systems that you can either spec yourself or take one of their prebuilt PC's. Check out their Titan gaming range... They also have a helpline run by technicians/engineers instead of some gimp.

P.S. 404 is a cunt.

Yep it's called land of computers, heres the web site

http://landofcomputers.uk.com/

Also have some funky boxes in there too, plus you spending cash like you are, knock em down with the power of the cash £££££

I'd recommend this site http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ . Select by spec or have them do you a customized one, select the parts you want, they build it and ship it to you. They don't charge much either.

or you could try www.novatech.co.uk


not expensive, good spec fo your monies and they deliver and shit!
