Hi Everyone

I'm looking at getting a new PC. I've thought about building one myself, but I don't want to mess it up. I've been looking at places on the web that I can get a custom built gaming PC from.

I've found this place that also has a shop in Birmingham (UK).

I was wondering if any of these PC's would make a good gaming rig. What do you think I should change to make them better.

I live near there shop so I was planning to go have a look on Saturday.

Any advise would be a huge help.

Thanks

I say build it yourself imho.
It is not very hard and there are well documented tutorials around the internet, as well as many old hands on various forums that im sure will be willing to point you in the right direction or help you out if you get into any trouble =]

This would be pretty good. I don't know your price range. It has a mATX board though.

That does look a pretty good price for e8400, 8800GT and Windows included.

I have given them a call and they have said that the spec is up to me. They will Custom Build to my spec. The systems on there web site are ones they have built for customers. They can build any of the PC as priced. But if I wanted anything different they would give me a price with the changes I wanted. What board would you use instead of this one? Does it make any difference being a mATX board?

Thanks again.

I would change the motherboard with a P45 motherboard.
