daddycool Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 This would cost u £390, or deduct £40 if u want me to supply u windows 7 (genuine!!)better than any pc u get from dell for the price and local shops (comet,currys.pc world ect....). Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66GHz Socket 775 1333FSB Galaxy Black Mid Tower Case with Blue Bubble Light LED Strip - + 450W PSU GT240 1GB GDDR3 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2 1066MHz Asus P5P41D G41 Socket 775 ATX Motherboard Tenda Wireless-G PCI Adapter Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium O yes forgot H/Drive well that depends on how big u want it tbh but your looking at £25-£40. when thinking of haveing a pc allways think of the proccesser first and graphics with good heat sinked memory. they will give u great performance and reliability!!, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonez Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 can knock one up for about £350 with all brand parts etc please go for a brand name psu, had a couple of the cheap makes go pop and burn out, taking parts with them! all depends what you require, to be honest, the major competitors struggle to keep up with dell!

foxdie Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 You realise your buying a PC already obsolete before its even arrived on your door mat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yes, I don't want the latest and greatest, and I don't want it to be upgradable. And for £340 I don't care what it is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I got a 1yr old Dell Optiplex 755 business grade PC, with 2 yrs NBD warranty left, for £160 on ebay. Spent £20 putting another 3GB, £30 on a decent sound card and its fantastic. Just get the service tag for any Dell to see if it has warranty left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddycool Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 If its for gaming then those cpu's are pritty pants and graphics card is a low spec 9 series card. But it almost matchs the price tag ur buying it for so a fair buy tbh Good luck m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it almost matchs the price tag ur buying it for so a fair buy tbh Good luck m8 Its not for proper gaming,I dont wanna run the latest games in full settings (hence why i wanted a budget computer) So long as it can play modern ish games without framerate issues and be speedier than my vista laptop and my old XP piece of crap im happy. Also, I tried to build this exact rig from aria.co.uk and it actually works out more expensive (Only because of the fact that windows 7 costs 70 quid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithyandco Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yay... no Dell!!! I'm forced to use Dells and one Alienware at work... The owner who bought them has regretted buying Dell since the installation... Even the servers are Dell... The spec you've picked is certainly fine for what you want... mines only better GPU wise (and even that's one step up... 9600GSO 1GB) and mine plays most new games and nearly all 2009 and below games on Med->high settings.Does exactly what I wanted and more!

Simonez Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Not a bad spec at all craig will do the job nicely. AMD triple cores pretty pants for gaming? errrr nah.........it will handle it fine. its all down to the other components aswell, and the ram looks good, yer the Graphics isnt a bad card, will do the job, what size resolution will you be playing games at?

smithyandco Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Never had any issues with the Dell stuff either.I'm an IBM or HP fan... Dell is the enemy! Maybe one day Dell will change my opinion... until then I'l always dislike them no matter what the Dell sheep say It's my own opinion... it's valid for many reasons thus it sticks! After all, everyone is entitled to their own opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
