UK ers, can u help build my friend a gaming pc for 800 (no monitor needed)

[acidvoodoo]

he wants the machine for gaming, and a only cd writer drive. he already has a monitor. he'll need everything else, cpu ram, case m/board, floppy etc

a huge hard drive is not needed, a 40gb will do he ses, as long as it's 7200rpm

if all parts could be bought from the same place it'd be cool

thank you all for the help!

oh and he DOESN'T need an operating system

You might be able to get the above cheaper if you shop around but above be nice and easy and within your price range.

Hehe, forgot the floppy but looking on Dabs theyre cheap (<£10) so still under your limit.

Ive almost the same combo as above in a friends rig i built for him - non overclocked as i dont want him badgering me
Never hear a peep of trouble from him.
The above recommendations will give a trouble free rig which be easy to work with - Hence no AMD solution even though i own AMD rigs myself. Nothing worse than the person doing a reinstall themselves then badgering you cos they got problems

Only thing to make sure of is get the latest drivers for the sound card from Turtle Beaches webby as the Videologic ones arent up to date AFAIK.

Have fun whichever way you go.

Warm Regards,

Chris =)

Try www.ebuyer.com

I've had major problems with returning faulty goods to dabs, but none at all with ebuyer.

Komplett don't accept debit cards, but their prices are very low.
