Hey guys,
I just turned eighteen and got quite a bit of money and I'm going to make a computer (or rather my sisters boyfriend is going to make it for me). Now I am going to apologise now, for my lack of computer knowledge - hopefully I'll even learn something out of this.
The Computer will generally be for gaming, so I'm mainly just trying to make sure it will run new games effectively. I am on a laptop at the moment so it means I'm going to have to start from scratch making this computer i.e. I wont be able to take the old monitor and hardrive etc.
I want to spend £800 max (is that enough?). If any of you could help me make a computer spec it would be really helpful as obviously you know alot more about computers than I do. I'm not expecting a game monster with the money that I have but if I could make one that will play games like World of Warcraft and Counter Strike Source and is possible to upgrade later if needed.
Parts I need:
Motherboard:
Processor:
Video Card:
RAM:
Power Supply:
Monitor:
Case:
Keyboard:
Speakers or Headphones:
Windows:
Fan:
There may be other parts I have forgotten, correct me if I have missed something out. I can easily get a cheap Keyboard and Headphones. I think I need 1-2 gig of RAM. I'll need a good video card and the rest I dont know alot about.
Thank you
