Right, I need a new PC, but:

I'M GOING TO BE BUYING A PREBUILT.

Please read and understand this. I do not have sufficient computer knowledge to put one together, and I couldn't give a flying fuck that prebuilts are more expensive. Thankyou.

My budget is around the £800, I do not use it enough to warrant any more money being spent.

Here is what I have been looking at so far:

http://arbico.co.uk/Arbico-OC-4870-XL-C … 18297.html

http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/pc_system.php … pcSysId=82

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu … %22%204850

And please suggest any improvements.

Thanks guys

The arbico looks the best, no doubt some cock will tell you it's better value to build your own.

inb4 "but building is easier than you think"

First one is pretty solid, but what mobo is it? I'm kinda asuming it's a p35-ds4. If so, nice machine.
Second one is also good, but a 9800GTX isn't that great, afaik.
Third is pretty good, but I don't know anything about the P43 chipset...
Fourth one looks great
Fifth one... I haven't heard about the mobo
I've heard Zimmer had a lot of problems with a pre-built from OCuK, so yeah.

I'd go with the fourth one.

I'll go with that. Not a very bad price.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I know it is cheaper, but knowing me, i'll fuck it up. So i'm not going down that route.

Would you suggest any improvements to the Arbico one then?

build ur own n00b!

but srs, its worth it.

£800 (and especially if you re-use HD's and drives) could get you one hell of a rig.

I made my own a few months ago, and with the help of these guys it all works fine, and its fucking class. Plus, it gives you a good understanding of PC stuff, which is always handy.

Upgrade to P182 if you can,
Download Vista x64,

I don't know anything about that PSU, so I'll let someone else say something about that

I understand that Cyber Power are pretty good for pre-built systems, a good friend of mine recently used them and is 100% happy with the product he recieved.

He bought http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/syste … inity_900/ and customized it.

My mate bought one from there and it sounds like a fucking Chinook is taking off in his bedroom when playing BF2.

Yeh, the thread question is answered. Arbico one with corsair memory. What else can you demand?

(If you already have a monitor and peripherals that is, which are not included in the Arbico machine. You never told if you need them or not.)
