    Hi there!, £600 is a lot of money to play with, the best gaming pc you could get would be custom built.

    would you rather get a custom built Pc? or pre-made?

    Mesh computers build good PC's in the UK Mesh PC's

    if you wanted to go for your own parts then Ebuyer tend to cater for all parts, Ebuyer

    Ask if you need some help with building it or information on what to get,

    thanks

    Hey thanks for the quick response. To be honest i dont really know anything about computers except for the software lol. Would you beable to direct me into what gaming pc i should go for because i dont really know what i am doing with the custom made ones. BTW i dont mind if its custom built or pre made as long as it plays games with good graphics ie cod4 or cod 5

    thanks mate

    There are alot of very helpful stickies, you shoudl check them before you ask.

    This is a great build, and will play all your games.

    You could check all your parts on www.newegg.com

    I agree. With that kind of budget, a custom build will give you way more for your money. Askal just pretty much laid down all the parts I would have chosen myself.

    If you don't want to do a custom one, then you might be better off to find a pre-built at scan.co.uk or at OCUK(if these stores stock pre-builds that is).

    The second computer looks much better, first because of the CPU, which is alot more powerful, also alot more RAM. I think you will see a bigger and greater difference if you would get the second computer.

    It`s always still better to build your own computer, because in the long range, it`ll be more worth it. But, if you MUST choose one of the two, go with the second one for sure, and make sure to choose the QUAD Q6600 CPU.

    If you could tell me what you would with the computer, such as what programs will you use, and what games you would play, I could help you alot more than.

    The ones are posted are commonly used and have proven to be good. You could use sites such as Newegg (www.newegg.com) to order the parts. Tigerdirect is also good, but there`s alot more reviews and helpful comments on Newegg.
