My last 3 pc's have all gone to heaven, hard drive fails, blown psu, usually 3 years into their life and beyond upgrading as I buy under £500. My last laptop lasted 15 months, failed backlight, battery died then hard drive failed. I paid £50 for a second hand dc7600 sff it has lasted well but won't play gw2.
I have a family of 4 children who like to play wow, minecraft and now want to try gw2.
Can anyone recommend a pc supplier or build that will last more than 2 years of daily use. My budget is approx £400 i already have a 6570hd & 9500gt (not sure which is better) graphics card and Sata 500 gb hd with xp os on it. Should I keep xp (I have the disk) my last pc with win7 never came with a disk and that hd is frazzled. I also have 4gb ddr2 ram spare but everything takes ddr3 now.
Any advice would be helpful as I would like to re-use most of my salvaged gear.
