Harris6310 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Nice find on that site. A lot cheaper than were I was going to get the stuff to build my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Aye. Mate from college told me about it and I was really amazed by the prices.The processor I got is £115 on that site, and is sold out. I got a near-new one from CEX for £50\. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris6310 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 CEX is great. I traded a xbox controller and Sims 3 for £45 there.Have you decided on a graphics card for your PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 @Harris:> CEX is great.

Runs everything fine and most games I've lagged on are bottlenecked by my CPU. Fantastic for it's time and still got a bit of power behind it.A second monitor comes before a new graphics card really, as when I'm programming I really do run out of screen space fast.

VitinhooxD Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Robin , if you wanna a VGA you can choose a 8800 GTS 512 MB , and this VGA is not too much expensive. A GTS250 1gb cost 150 dollars so the 8800 gts should cost around 70 dollars . Its a great card. Just my oppinion :)Sorry 4 my horrible english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 When I have the funds for a new gfx card I'll look around for one. Thanks for the info though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris6310 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I have a 120gb hard drive you could have. I can send it to you in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 I've got 400GB of space all together and I've never used more than 200GB. I've only got 3 harddrive slots though, so if I do get some new harddrives I'm going to have to buy bigger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitinhooxD Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Robin , the GTX260 Core 216 has a better performance compared to the HD 4870.Search for the GTX price and compare to the HD price. If the GTX costs a little bit more , i suggest you to buy the GTX. Also nVidia has PhysX that will be really useful when playing games like Mirror's Edge.My suggestion:[http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=34019&tid=gsearch](http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=34019&tid=gsearch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
