    Buying a new setup..

    I'm getting a new set-up for a budget of £850.00 or 1300$.

    The place I'm looking to get my new PC is from a computer store called power computing near to where I live, could anyone make me a good "iComplete PC" with Intel (you'll know what I'm talking about after you've looked at the site) and then post the specifications here? Also the "iComplete" comes with a monitor so if you check the monitor specifications also that'd be great.

    The site is www.powerc.com any help will be useful thanks :)

    If you HAVE to buy it that way, get the performer package, and leave it all stock, except yoi need to put on what hdd, just do the top one, the 500gb one. If you dont have to make it from their list, you can get so much better for less money

    Ok do you mind like giving me a list from UK shops if that is possible as I know a little bit about computers but not lots so I don't know what's best and also if I have to build the computer then I would have to pass as I'm not that knowledgeable about computer building.

    It would involve building the computer, but it would definately be worth it. It is not hard at all to build yoir own computer, its basically like connecting 9 cords. The minor work needed to be done is way worth the extra computer power.

    Yes i can post some specs, give me about 15 minutes or so. Also if you go to newegg.com and go to the computer hardware section they have a complete video tutorial on building a computer i believe.

    Just google it up, or even on sythe I believe there is some guides down in the guide section. It really is not hard at all. Basically seat the cpu and ram, screw the motherboard into the case, same for psu, hdd, optical drive, and gpu, then connect all the wires.

    A screwdriver if you don't have one. Possibly a static discharge bracelet if you wan't to be extra careful. Basically that is a wire going from your wrist to the metal on the case while you are building to make sure you don't fry any electrical parts.
    Besides that no.
