Dear Friends,
Greetings.
I am in UK currently and i am looking to make a new PC for general home use (Movie playback in HD and/or CAD) nothing intense or hardcore. Can you give some suggestions or recommendation of what new system can be within the mentioned budget?
Is there some sites you can tell me which are best to buy parts in UK or is it better to buy from high street? Do people selling parts on the website also assemble the PC for you or do they just sell these parts. I have never bought or made PC in UK so i am a newcomer here.
I don't mind either Intel or AMD, but for the budget i have, I've heard that AMD is more powerful economically. I also need a screen which can be additional £40-50 on top of £250.
Here's the detailed things:
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: £250-£300
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Watching movies and/or general CAD work
Parts Not Required:keyboard, mouse, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I have not got any but some but i Google'd and found these:
1.
2. [url= http://www.aria.co.uk/]
3. [url= http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/]
Please suggest if there's any better websites i can buy cheaper and good parts. Thanks!
Country of Origin: UK
Parts Preferences: by brand or type : Any Intel or AMD [no specific preference]
Overclocking: Never used in my life.
SLI or Crossfire: (have no idea about this) and never used.
Monitor Resolution: looking for a budget screen 19" or 20" something near £40 - £50 on top of the £250
Additional Comments: Should last for long.
Please guys, advice. Let me know what suggestions you have on this and what can be a good new compatible built.
Thanks for your time and effort, appreciate your replies.
UAR.
