Buy parts, create a custom, works better than all those pre-made ones.

How powerful does it need to be?
For running graphical and processor hungry games or browsing?
Also, what is your ideal price?

Well... I started with a Compaq Presiaro 061, shittest computer ever.

Its Windows XP SP2, upgraded to 3. I bought it an extra 2GB RAM, and a 9400GT Graphics Card, so?

I was hoping something with around 4GB RAM and a 1024MB Graphics card.

If you're going for the Desktop, i suggest you looking at ATI's graphic card: HD4870 i believe it's called, it's supposed to be running Crysis on an Average of 30-40 FPS. (on max'd graphics).

Tbh, Your processor is what you need to worry about. RAM and Video only pick up performance, but Processing speed can determine whether you are able to run the full game or not.

E: That ATi Radeon is sexy.

What you want to do, is buy a tv from currys, let it brake, complain to currys until they give u Ј800 worth of vouchers, then get an Ј799.99 computer!

thats what I did anyway.
