My PC is pretty old, crappy and slow, and I have been told that as a gift, I can get it upgraded, with a budget of like 300-400 british pounds. So far my PC is like: 997 Mhz Memory 128 MB RAM Intel pentium 3 processor I wanna use it mainly for burning PS2 backups, but mainly for playing PC games, smoothly, and being able to play all day without it slowing down. Also I do not have a DVD Burner, so could someone recommend one. So basically what I am asking is, what should I get, and what company, for each of those things, so that my computer becomes superfast in running games. Keeping in mind the 300-400 budget Thanks in advance
My advice: Sell the P3 (you'll get like 40 pounds). 400 pounds budget, the PC in my sig was built by me in June this year for 400 pounds exactly and I play the latest games like AOE 3 at Highest quality and they play suprisingly well! Now its nearly november, either buy or built a pc and you will get higher specs than me for the same price. I recomend and so will other AMD for gaming, socket 939 etc - overclocked to extarct performance out! You're going to spend the same money upgrading your PC as you would to build another to much better specs! AP
So if I get a new PC built, what parts would I need to buy, and which company? I could get someone to build it for me for free, but I just need to give him a list of all the parts, so if someone could give me a list, with prices, then that would be great
Thats a tight budget, Motherboard http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=291356 £46.40 CPU http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=217038 £108.48 Memory http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=237278 £69.33 Graphics card http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=268845 £99.86 PSU http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=271184 £52.75 DVD RW hhttp://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=273869 £27.01 Total £403.83 just a little over budget It's not a smokin system but given the budget it's still pretty good Your gonna have to use your old harddrive and case plus cd & floppy drive ...your gonna have to add p&p to the final price
