Build it yourself mate, you will save ALOT

probably looking at about Â£350-400 for that lot if you buy the parts from somewhere like Ebuyer...

Looking good m8

wondering why you want a SIS chip-set board thou?

also why you require a platinum sound card, they cost the earth and its out of date

current card would be a creative audigy 2 ZS player

*EDIT*

why a cd-RW and DVD rom drive?

same price got a DVD-RW that can do everything

I work for an IT company m8 so if there any bits ya after feel free to buzz me so I can give you an idea of price etc

hard drive, graphics card, mobo & other bits & bobs will SERIOUSLY degrade the performance...

give me a rough budget idea & I\'ll price you something up from places I know well

You best bet is to get onto e-buyer and buy all the parts separately from them. For Â£500 you can build a pc with high spec that sells in the shops for Â£1800

Take a look on www.novatech.co.uk thats wher we buy all our comps at work!

suppose we dont pay VAT which saves alot but some sytems still very cheap!

but if your game, buy all bits off ebuyer.com and build it yourself can\'t really go wrong will either work or won\'t work!
