[QUOTE="JM_MUFC"]So i don't need a cd/dvd writer? and if i were to purchase an AMD motherboard would i then need to purchase an AMD processor? or would intel still work? Also what makes a good PSU, CPU and Memory Unit? Another thing i forgot to ask about is graphics cards, i was looking at them too but there are hundreds of different models so how do you know which is an improvement on which? for example there are nVidea GTS or GT or GTX or whatever so which ones are better?-Feath-

Thanks for your advice.

If anyone is kind enough to put a list together for me then it is hugely appreciated. I want it to be able to run some fairly recent games but nothing too demanding like Bad company 2 or Mw2. My current budget is £450-£500, this is due to the fact that i am currently a laptop user meaning i'm also going to have to shell out for a monitor, mouse, keyboard and any other peripherals needed.

EDIT: i also need an operating system as i dont have one on disk.

Would a mini usb vacuum not work? Mines pretty nifty and i can use it to clean imbetween the keys of my keyboard! Although i'm unsure of how good a job it does as it only cost me £1.

I want it to be able to run some moderate games, mainly the sims, gta 4 and fallout (3 and/or new vegas).

I've been looking through some sites and these are the main components that they are saying i will need:

• Motherboard
• Processor
• Memory (ram) x2
• Graphics Card
• Sound Card
• Hard Drive
• CD/DVD ROM
• CD/DVD Writer

So is there anything on this list that i am missing or i dont actually need?

Also what sites should i be looking at to purchase from? (i live in the uk)

I tried E-buyer and was looking at motherboards, which got me confused :?

It said stuff like 'Motherboards Intel' and 'Motherboards AMD', which im assuming are two different brands, so which is better? and what are you looking for in a motherboard? There was also somewhere that said you need an 'ATX' motherboard so that it will fit in most modern 'ATX' cases... what does this mean?

Also what makes a good cpu? Yet again it was saying 'Processor Intel' or 'Processor AMD'. so which brand is better here?

Basically what i am saying is i am totally out of my depth here and could really do with some help, especially as i was reading some place that you can buy certain components that then don't fit to the motherboard meaning you could buy a couple of hundred pounds worth of components which you cant use...

I want to get a 360 for ToV, but its the only game I want for it so I want to spend as little as possible. My question is now that the new slims are out and the old models are discontinued is this as cheap as they'll come? Also how hard is it to avoid RRod if I take care of it properly?

Guys come on if your going to create a poll with the best multi-players then at least put in a classic, Rainbow Six Vegas 2. It had awesome co-op, kick-ass versus, a large variety of weapons and very few glitches with practically no lag during the year straight i played that game!
