Hi
I would like to build a PC.
Hi Simon,
I would agree with Jeremy's comments re the purpose you intend to put
the PC to. However as regards sourcing the components I would suggest
www.ebuyer.com as your first port of call. Very low prices, good
quality and reliable service. I've used them for over a year and I know
at least one friend who puts in at least one order a month and has not
had any problems with their service.
Re games use (if that is the intention), I'm not so convinced of the
need to splash half your budget on a graphics card. I use a Geforce
FX5200 256Mb card and it runs sweet as a nut, even played Doom 3 without
a hitch (which seems to be the current yardstick for games
performance). Remember that anything over 15 frames a second is lost as
the human eye can't detect much (if anything) above that, so why drop
£200 on a massive card that hits 50-70fps?
Kind regards,
Julian
