Most unis/colleges give it to you during induction, so you may have it in the pack they gave you on day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most unis/colleges give it to you during induction, so you may have it in the pack they gave you on day 1. found my email adress last night, so will be buying that when I get my new computer will hopefuly start buying the parts for this soon, but i've been offered a hdtv on the cheap, 6 months old 52inch 1080p, they are only selling it cause they want a smaller one, they want £300 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 a 6 month old 52" hdtv for £300... Either that's the bargain of the century or it fell off the back of a lorry. And I'd get that windows 7 licence now, you can then install it at your leisure but the offer is only on until January, and you'll be kicking yourself if you miss it. Windows 7 Professional (32 or 64bit) Upgrade for £30 when it should be ~£145. The upgrade part makes the installation a bit more interesting, but we'll come to that part later on.

caled Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 student version? I think you're thinking of office there, but you can get office 2007 ultimate edition for £38.75. The windows 7 version (choose between Home Premium or Professional - although why you wouldnt choose Professional is beyond me) is an upgrade disc, although can be used to do a clean install.

The windows 7 version (choose between Home Premium or Professional - although why you wouldnt choose Professional is beyond me) is an upgrade disc, although can be used to do a clean install. not sure, just going on what I've been told lol and it says on the link somewhere that its a download, or do they send a disk aswell? (or is the disk the professional one only?) and is the premium and professional the same price? the way I read it was the home premium is £30 and the professional is £30 ontop of that?

trickydicky Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 They are both the same price.I'd go for premium for you, a disk costs extra but you'll need the disk if you are doing a clean install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caled Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 No, you can choose between either for £30, so naturally I got the Professional edition, as it includes everything in Home Premium + domain support and a few other things that you more than likely will never use - but better to have them and not need them, I reckon. It is a download and they (I think it goes through digitalriver or someone similar) email you the registration key (if you have an unlimited storage email account, its a good idea to get it emailed there so you dont delete it).You can buy the discs, but thats £9 on top to cover printing the disc and postage etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(with the 1 disk) if you can I'll install it on the 2 computers in the house now and the new one when its built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonez Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) The motherboard and processor you put up on one of your posts has had great reviews! so id go for that if youve got the money! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1495http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1272 as for cooling that, id go for an aftermarket cooler, and the intel one is alrite, but for the extra dosh id get one of these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1395 and then at least 4gb of ram, as its cheap these days! id go for this, again tested and great reviews in that board with processor! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1517 and as for graphics cards, if you could push a lil over £100 you could get one of these:also your motherboard supports Crossfire, so when you have some case, get another and slap it in there, nice setup those 2 cards are! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1515 then main part, a powersupply, you need to see what your plans are, if your going to add another graphics card they youd need a bigger watt psu! id go for a brand name like these, ive used these in every build ive done, and they are fab! http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1084 then the rest is pretty simple, can pick up a cheap 1TB harddrive for about £60ish so worth a look! again this one here has good reviews, and 2 of these in Raid, beat raptors http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....amp;subcat=1279 Edited December 3, 2009 by Simonez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonez Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 they are great cards mate, but the ATI will blow that away plus the motherboard youve been looking at is Crossfire ready, which means you could add another ATi in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
