you should build your own. pc companies do a good job but they usually rip you off

 

[rchad]

how much cheaper on average is it would you say?

because lets say hypothetically that pc is £600 if i was going to make it myself how much cheaper would it be (im not expectng you to find every part and work it out for me, just a educated guess) £400/£450/£500?

 

[TheBigTroll]

it depends. usually 50 pounds or so. i dont live in the UK so i wouldnt know the exact prices

 

[rchad]

i would enjoy making my own pc but unless if was drastically cheaper then i think i could live with just using a pc company, plus i wouldn't mess it up and would be quicker and ready to us when it arrived.

im just looking for the best gear for about £600.

well then here you go

it should play every game at ultra settings no problem. your build wouldnt touch medium settings for the most part. you dont get all the freebie software and the gaming headset.

you will have to go out and find some dvd playback software and some dvd burning software if you require it

thanks!!!!

would any pc case fit them parts or do i need a certain type of case?

and how easy is it to put everything together?

 

[TheBigTroll]

the case i chose should be rather easy to install everything. what case are you thinking of?

there is a youtube guide from newegg that shows you how to build a pc. go check it out for help

it should take you around 2-3hrs depending on cabling needs. the case i chose doesnt have many cabling options so you will have to do some tidying
