Help build Wabzy a computer by Wabz on 02-26-2006 at 07:16 PM
Hey people I came into some money recently and want a new computer
Just wondering what I could get with £450 from a UK dealer ( I don't want to mess around with imports // waiting)
I don't need a DVd drive as I have a decent DVD reWriter, and I have two ide drives I want to keep. Network cards aren't really an issue either.
Other than that I need everything. Whats my options ?
Oh what I would like
Power so P4 or Athlon XP , a lot of RAM , and the option to upgrade to SATA drives when i need to. Graphics aren't too important at present as I don't play games, but I do watch videos quite a lot.
[edit] I don't need any software I have plenty of licenses spare for software thanks to my University 
[/edit]
Oh and if you have money spare some nice speakers to go with would be nice.
Cheers guys

tiger direct has cheap prices.
At the bottom of that web page there is a pull down menu that lets you decide what country you are in.

I know all about this. I just want to see what options people could come up for me. I just want few other opinions on what specs I could buy

Wabz,
As for what to buy for a custom built PC or an upgrade, I usually consult the most recent edition of this guide when it is that time. I've found they make excellent suggestions.
I will leave recommendations of where to buy to those in the UK.

www.ebuyer.com
www.dabs.co.uk
www.planetmicro.co.uk
www.microdirect.co.uk
ebuyer and dabs are the best 2 in my opinion
also, i think go with an AMD cpu, as they will give better performance in the long run. also a new motherboard may need to be bought according to the cpu you do buy (unless you have it already). 1Gb of ram is good enough at the moment
