    Creating a custom gaming PC.

    Hello DK.

    Creating a custom gaming PC in the near future (Towards the end of this month) and thought that it would be easier to find a place that sells all required parts to build the PC, This would basicly be so I could order all the parts at once to arrive on the sam day and could crack on with the build, Do you know anywhere, If not do you have any recommendations of where I could find good parts at decent prices, I'm looking on spending around ?300 - ?450 Tops but want a fast machine.

    Not interested in Intel as have been put off them due to the pure fact of friends have AMD's that run well and they don't get many problems.

    Regards, Ellis.

    What sort of games u wanna play?

    ?450 for a good top end gaming pc aint allot, GFX card would set you back half of it if you wanted a good 1.

    Intel have some really good CPUs which i prefer over AMD but choice is choice.

    I'd look at the following site for parts, but remember look at each site for each part, 1 part maybe cheaper 1 on but another dearer on that site than the other

    Ebuyer
    Microdirect
    CCLonline
    Scan
    sigpic
