I quote Arsenal: just looking for an up todate one at a nice price. Dont go looking for a kitted up one modified to the core

I'd go for a Dell (you can decide what hardware you want in your pc and they got a good service after you bought the pc) or a HP (decent quality and low prices, more for less )

but i'm sure yump knows more about this kind of stuff

It might be handy if you would give us a budget to search by.

[smokestaH]

Ignore the advice from people saying Alienware (must be bait) Dell or Acer.

A pentium II is good enuff for SoF m8.

hmm http://www.glhf.co.uk/value/10-glhf-eco-pc.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; i do like that one smoke, nice price until u add the windows 7 and shipping, its just over £400 which still aint too bad.

Id prefer to get it from pc world tho as i can drive n pick it up. :sigh:
Still looking tho :happy:


What about this? http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/hp-pavili ... 6-pdt.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hmm refurbished..

Also what does the i3, i7 ect mean? 3 - 7 processors?

[smokestaH]

GLHF is from a 1.6/css player (a well known one, good reputation etc). He does good prices, builds them himself etc, loads of players buy from him.

Always want to dodge acer/dell brands , i mean it says 4GB ram, yet u have no idea which brand, could be a cheap one with low speed. Same with other components in it. Unless u select the parts 1 by 1 yourself, i would not get these "premade" ones.

Well think we have had a PC since 1996, not once have we bought the OS. Just download one, easy.

i3,i7 etc no idea. Dont really follow pc components anymore since i bought E8400 when it came out. But i guess the higher the number, the faster it is etc.

[Nijogeth]

for i3, i5 or i7
its just a type description
basicly, a i7 with 1,6 ghz is faster than an i3 with 1,6 ghz (dont ask me why, but it is. its probably some clocking feature), i5 is the inbetweener

furthermore, there are also second generation i3, i5 and i7, but im not really sure if there is a difference with the normal ones

[Yump]

There is a huge difference but i won't have time till next year to give u a detailed summary lol

Not that it would be important to go into details anyways , fact is new generation i5 is much cheaper and better equipped to deal with any game old or new then the first i series ...

Something like this for 700 - 800 eu's depending on current pricing and your favorite store if you got one .. + assembly

Are advent computers worth getting? always thought they were 2nd rate to others hense why they have the same parts but at a cheaper price. Or isit just you pay more the the brand name of other computers :happy:

This topic is probably out of date, just wanted to reply to make clear I am finally on this forum.

Don't buy a pre-assembled pc from a brand! You pay +10-20% just because it says Alienware or Dell.

Look at hardware sites for different components and order them at a cheap pc-selling site and if needed let them assemble the system.

Many sites recommend a complete system for your needs:
