I build PC's at work mate Cost pricing ftmfw.

MSN told me to do that once. Mates rates j/ks.

If i gave you some specs could you give me a price guide ?. I'm looking (not right now) but one day, to build something up for games, internet also. I do some multimedia playing around but not an expert at it.

For what you have listed you would be able to source the parts for about $620
i'm assuming though you already have a case,windows,dvd drive and psu handy other wise you would be looking at something a bit under $1000

Got a DVD drive but not an updated one still ide cable. Got a Case but old again.

Do need a new update version of windows, still using win xp pro sp3, and if i was going to use plenty of ram i need that vista, but really need 64bot to unleash it's full potential anyway right ?.

But $620 under $1000 was better then i was expecting. And it's always better to pick your own parts to suit yourself, these package deals are good but lack something usually.
I also don't have a LCD, but they are pretty cheap now.

Nothing wrong with IDE DVD drives, I still use one. A case is generally a case, but a PSU might matter.. you may need a more powerful one to run the new stuff. You'd probably not see a whole lot of difference between 32 and 64 bit windows with 4GB RAMs and a 512MB video card, but any more and I'd be suggesting getting 64bit windows 7 when it appears. I have 64 bit, but I have 4GB system RAM and 2GB gfx RAM.. Radeon 4870x2.

[S.O.S]

So DVD drives still use IDE cables ?.

Not a fan of Vista, played around with a friends laptop and it really uses to much ram. Don't know about windows 7 ?.

As long as it's upgradeable, i will always go bigger in ram and graphics.

My first Pc was a Duron, in 1 month i upgraded to a XP2000, 12 months later i went into XP-M over clocked it. Been with that ever since. Does the job, but i want to be able to play games better, and do a little multimedia.

Vista is great, after SP1 its been solid and stabler than XP for me.

Vista is great, after SP1 its been solid and stabler than XP for me.

Just got a black Nokia N97. Now I have an N95 back up phone

^^^^ am doing the same soon. Would appreciate feedback on the real usability of the keyboard. Ta.

Vista was great for me after I switched to Mac OSX.

[S.O.S]

Vista is great, after SP1 its been solid and stabler than XP for me.

It is great, Just it uses so much extra ram it drains. XP is the best OS they made the rest can only build on that.

After getting my first N series i never thought i would use another. Then i got an LG Arena.

When they release the N98 the ultimate I-Phone smart phone killer, I'll be back.
