I've found that you just needed to phone them up free-phone at the end of 2 months and you can have it all cancelled within 5-10 minutes.

The slim actually has a lower TDP value than the old style, around 150W while gaming in comparison to about 180W. But then its more compact.

No problem really. Hardly as though there's a pressing need for faster tech.

I actually think this might be your best option on such a tight budget. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011/06/30/amd-a8-3850-review/1

Is the software/games genuine? The PC probably $500-600, the monitors another $100, probably better to sell that separately. The software should add $250-350 in value most of that coming from the windows stuff.

but when youre not gaming, your video card isn't exactly using all that power anyway.

Even idling most cards use 100-150W.

What case have you got. That's the single biggest factor in system noise.

Ok, thats great advice too, I think I'm looking at buying the lot thats listed in that picture, but I don't know which site that is, where should I be buying this stuff from? Also two things I forgot about, one is would this be WIFI enabled straight from the get go? Or do I need to buy an adapter, and also, I need two HDMI ports as I am looking to connect up two monitors to it. Any advice?retodd33
Scan's an excellent tech site. (site that picture list was compiled from) http://www.scan.co.uk/ free shipping with 20 posts at this fourm http://www.bit-tech.net/ participate in some of the spammy general threads the 5770 will support 2 monitors you'll need a wifi card/dongle However one alteration to ionusX build. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/amd-phenom-ii-x4-955-black-deneb-core-s-am3-32ghz-8mb-cache-ht-3600mhz-125w-retail instead of the 840 he chose, slightly more cache which means its slightly faster

Don't waste your money, settle for a 1.5K build.

2012 is coming and they're arent any games out right now that really pushes hardware. My build destroys every game. I have the money go spend an extra 2K on PC if I wanted, but that's just dumb financial management.

i5 2500K $200
x2 HD6970 $700
HAF X $200
Gig Z68 $150
64GB SSD $100 (can probably get a 120GB Vertex 3 for $200)
750W PSU $120

Especially if you're new to PC gaming, it's unwise to spend that much. Learn the ins and outs of PC hardware with a cheap build and then you can delve into expensive water cooling setups and eyefinity builds without forum intervention.
