your own is better, the graphics card on the packard bell is rubbish. but the prices you gave aren't correct, the gpu costs 111 pounds not 35,...

better make sure it's right before you order double of what you wanted to spend :lol:

quad core on xp yes. and whats wrong with saving for a bit and upgrading then.
quad core is much more future proof

all for 50quid more?

if yer gonna build my advise is to do it right, make sure it lasts you ;)

when i get my first payment for my student loan through (shoulda got it on monday but noooo)
ill order everything on my list but the mobo and quad core you've said flatline. im gonna stick with
my psu as you've just said it will do the job...and it's cheaper. i imagine this pc won't be upgraded for a year or 2 at least...ive got my xbox 360 for getting new games...

can't be assed updating the list ive done it that many times...but it should come out around
£530 ish....


cheers for the help and suggestions guys :thumbl:
