my pc has died so i thought id build a new one.
Ive replaced cpu's etc before but never a full build.
Now in going to be using nothing from the old pc so unless i can use xp im goin to need everything to build a base unit including
A case fans etc.
Now my budget will be about £600 but think of more 6-800 if it makes a big difference and it will be used for gaming and web browsing spec sheets please from uk shops. Im on my phone atm i never released how much i need my pc lol

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.

Picked a mid-high end case, obviously that can change but that's the sort of stuff you'd be getting for ~£800.

Swap the GTX 260 for a ATi 5770 and that's a great build.

You might be able to drop the price by getting rid of the soundcard if you don't really need it and getting a cheaper case.

I'd look on either:
www.scan.co.uk
or
www.ebuyer.com

They tend to be cheaper...

I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.

Oh yeah, I forgot to put in an ATI alternative. Either card will be fine.

No idea on how much space he needs. Samsung F3 or WD blue/black at whatever capacity would be suitable.

Thanks people, have ordered it, went for the 5770, 500gb hd name slips my mind but it had 5 star reviews everywhere for speed and noise. Kept most of the parts but swaped brands a little to cheaper/better reviewed stuff. Should be here by the end of the week

Nicely done. You'll enjoy that rig, it's a good one.

James, the GTX260 is a good card, although I think the 5770 is a definite choice over it. Lower power consumption, less heat, less noise, DX11, new architecture, £20 (than the one you posted), and the drivers are only going to get better. The 260 is getting old now.

I just would like to hear your argument why so? What makes slightly faster GTX 260 worse price/performance than slightly slower and hceaper HD 5770?

If you are going to buy a new PC, you should allways shovel as much on the GFX card as possible.. a new build today should have a 5850 minimum imo...

Drivers will mature

What has that to do with performance/price?

More features = better value for money?

Also, I don't recall the 260 having a HDMI port... not that important a feature but it seems to be the coming standard unless display port over takes it

More performance now vs. promise of brighter future. Both cards are likely to get trounsed way before there is much real benefit.

Here is 260 with HDMi.
