I recommend AMD's when considering low budgets. AMD is known to sell at lower prices than Intel but still maintain great performance in the industry. The X6 is currently AMD's top of the line processor and will sweep WoW like butter. If you want an Intel processor, i recommend the i5 2500k...

400 pounds is too short to work with for what you desire, but i can try and work around this. Check this out: Phenom II X6 = $200 MB = $65 550 ti = $130 4GB Crucial DDR3 = $35 case = $55 cpu cooler = $50 Total = $553. I didn't add a Power Supply because you'll need from your country and i don't...

Hm, i like these suggestion i never though about that. What O/S are you running?

Yeah man, it worked! For some reason it stopped after a few months as if it became "unbootable" lol... I don't see that as an issue. You can message me it though ;)

I think it overheated too. Boot the computer up and get into BIOS. Go to Advanced, and select Chipset. In Chipset, you should see "Primary Graphics Adapter" (might be under Advanced > Southbridge configuration). Anyhow select "PCI Express" as the default. Now, go to Boot and select Hardware...

Interesting issue. Friend of mine few years back had the same exact issue. He had like 10,000 pics in one folder and when he tried to scroll down and view em all, windows would crash and restart. I think the problem was with his video card. I don't remember what i did to cure it unfortunately...

I always just copy pasted my installation to my external 500GB and it worked fine up until some time ago when for some reason it wouldn't boot up from bios. What's your method?

Nice! http://maketecheasier.com/boot-and-install-windows-7-from-usb-flash-drive/2009/01/23

Whats your budget like? This 550ti will suffice. An extra 2gb of ddr3 would help you out as well. And a core 2 duo will give you some lag when you increase the graphic settings.

Trapt it on my first try but can't seem to do it again! Beginners luck?

np ;)

It might also be an issue with your hard drive. Install DiskCheckup (free). Run it and select the S.M.A.R.T. tab to see if it gives you any red errors. Also, make sure your running in DMA mode and not PIO. Go here and follow the steps to verify that you're in DMA mode.

Whats the make and model of the drive? I can't tell from the picture... it doesn't look like SATA

wow sorry forgot to post it:

Strange indeed. Here in the US, we pay for parts+labor. It's easy enough to buy a cheap Dell where the price is "all inclusive"... but where's the fun in that? You're right. Gave me quite a scare there for a sec :p. But in all seriousness, I always try and give my best advice and never give a...

The specs are pretty similar so it doesn't make a difference. Now you need to choose between brands. I would choose Antec.

If the monitor you purchase has a DVI/DisplayPort connection, you should be able to connect it to your PC via your graphics card which should have at least 1 DVI port. But be careful, there are different types of DVI ports. DVI-D and DVI-I (dual and single link). Look at the picture below to see...

I thought i was your "ultra expert pro man / girl"! :(...
