Can anyone reccomend a build please?

[ParalizedTime]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering what is the best computer I could build for £200-£250. The main use would be simulators/gmod and internet. I already own a DVD burner and sound card.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Also just noticed that you did not mention a hard drive, do you have any reccomendations?

How could i forget, sorry.

Unfortunately not they are all at extremely high prices at the moment, i use a SSD it was £90 for 90GB, but dramatically increased system speed.

My HDD have always been seagate, there the cheapest, and i think there amazing, not the best quality, you will get some errors, and fragmentation, but money saving is everything xD Western Digital are also fairly cheap and good quality. For Your Budget these are your best options.

If you Can afford a SSD - i strongly advise it, running simulators access time for data is so much faster than HDD therefore less lag

Ok, thank you very much for your help and quick replies. Hopefully I will get round to buying and building the computer soon. One last question, have you had any previous expieriance with ebuyer?

 

[Jake-]

Yes, i only ever buy my components from ebuyer, apart from there rip-off next day delivery fee or free in 5 days if you spend £50, this is the cheapest place in the UK to buy Computer components (unless you catch a good deal somewhere).

You have no worries with ebuyer, and i am genuinely surprised you haven't bought from them before :/

Good Luck on the build, did you want me to create an Intel, or you ok with AMD?

 

[ParalizedTime]

Im fine with either to be honest . Anyway thank you for the help once again.
