Being very selfish here, but could some kind person please help me build a system? I'm in the UK so sites based in Dearest Olde Blighty (aka Britain) only pleeease.
Basically, I'm pining for:
CPU: 3/3.2 GHz Athlon (Possibly 64bit? Not overly important)
Gfx: ATi Radeon 9800 (Pro preferably, but certainly not XT) 256Mb maybe but if 128's drastically cheaper...
Hard Drive: 120 Gb? Not massively bothered about brand
Motherboard: don't know, don't care so long as it's compatible with the other components (natch)
Sound I'm not so sure about - I already have a pretty good sound system that I'm happy with but it's quite old so if there's some sort of relatively cheap card/speakers bundle (preferably surround sound) then that'd be dandy
RAM I don't care too much about speeds etc as I'm not very au fait there - 512 MB mebbe?
As for cases and power supplies, well I haven't the slightest idea so I'll trust your judgement, you saintly folk, you.
CD-RW & DVD is no problem because I already have both (separate drives)
Screen is not problem as I already have one, same goes for mouse and keyboard.
If I've missed anything...
Thank you for any help you fellas (or laydeeeez) give me - much appreciated.
