Fellow Computer Builders...

Hi all..

I am thinking of having a computer built. I dont want to buy one from PC world or others but go to some little shop in the area but i was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on what I want on it and how much you would pay if you were buying one.
I want it to run fast
Be able to run lots of windows at once
have vista home on it
have enough memory for files and also for it to be able to handle quite a few bigish applications been installed.

Thanks in advance everyone!

AMD x2 dualcore 3,800

don't think you need it much faster

Thanks for the link, Fred... Are they expensive, and will they push my price up alot?

Tom

Intel will cost you twice as much board & ram about 150 pound and it is good from msi all live updates no problem the only problem the lcd monitor with 12 seconds is a bit slow

try overclockers:

they have good prices much cheaper than here and add to that tom 4 SATA @ 250 GB goes like a rocket
