I know you must get a lot of these posts, so in advance, i appologise!
I'm looking to buy/build a new PC. However, I have never built a PC in my life. The most I have ever done is modify my current PC slightly. I have installed an extra 2x 512mb RAM to double my RAM, and also fit in a 8800gts video card because the original one was just fitted onto the motherboard and was crap.
I know that if i buy the parts seperately, I can get them a damn site cheaper than if i buy an off-the-shelf desktop. Also, i've already got an 8800gts which i bought around a year ago and i think it is still pretty good by todays standards. So that would be an extra cost I wouldnt have to worry about.
I have been looking around, and seen that I can build a customised build on the mesh computers website, however again I would be buying a new video card etc. I'd like a pretty good gaming PC that will last. Whats my best course of action from here, are there good sites that will build a PC for me, maybe not a mainstream company?? And will i need to fork out for a new copy of windows? I'm totally new to this, my current PC is a packard bell
thanks in advance for any help!
