You can either buy a pre-built PC tower with everything you need in it, or you can buy all the individual parts and build the tower yourself for a bit cheaper than the pre-built, although be warned that there is a bit of a learning curve building you own and things can go wrong, or at least you will more than likely get stuck somewhere along the line and need help..purpleRz
I have built PC's before so that is not a problem.
[QUOTE="LM101"][QUOTE="Sordidus"]What's your budget?Sordidus
I have a budget of about £400 or $800. This is just for the comoputer btw as i already have monitor, speakers etc. :)
If you build one yourself, you can get a good rig with that money.
thanx any suggestions on parts? :)

Off the top of my head,
gigabyte p45 DS3-R/L mobo
4gb g.skill ddr2 1066mhz ram
HD 4870 video card
500gb seagate barracuda harddrive
Intel E8400 CPU
xigamatek S1283 cooler
corsair 650-700-750w PSU
at USA prices that should add up to around $800 give or take $15 or so. Now if you look around for some deals/instant-mailin rebates/etc, you could probably cut that down to $750
However you mentioned your funds in Pounds so I cant say if prices are the same in england.
If you must cut down on something, look into the intel E7400 CPU, HD 4850 or 9800GTX+ video cards, or a somewhat cheaper mobo (current one is around $120) that doesnt have 2 x PCIEx16 slot, or say a 320gb drive instead of 500gb, or just 2gb ram instead of 4gb if you currently sport something like a 17inch @ 1280x1024 res.
