Septic

I hope you're not talking to me Daman! I sent an e-mail to the company that sold me the PSU: This is their REPLY: Right...should have listened to you guys in the first place. So what is a surge protector? Time to get a decent PSU

I believe (not in ghosts) but then again I'm a religious nutjob

Sorry I'm a bit clueless about these things: why has the new case helped with cooling? It is because its bigger and is more spacious inside? It looks great!

You woman beater Jazz

Oh man.... Anyone selling any good PSUs for cheap?

Haha I know I know. Its a game full of goons but I don't play it 24/7 like others do. Although, I am ashamed to admit that I spent £100 to buy WoW gold to buy an epic flying mount. Got a phonecall from China and everything lol. Ouch!! Ah man I'm definately getting a better PSU now. Hopefully the seller will refund the PSU I've just bought.

Yeah you did lol. I'll run it with that PSU for less than a month and buy a Corsair one when i get paid next. The last thing I need is for everything to be fried!! When I get home I'm going to smack my brother. I kept telling him: "look these guys say get a better PSU" but his attitude was "it'll be fineeeee....don't worry". Muppet! Are cheap-ish PSU's detonating really that common?

Ah crap I'm worried now. I ordered this: 600W Power Supply Unit 600W ATX PSU With Sata For PC http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260699375342 My bloody brother said it would be fine. Please say it'll be okay! Otherwise I'll just wait for pay day next month and by a Corsair one. I've ordered the one above already though.

Sorry for the late reply guys. I was downloading the WoW update (6gig!) and its still downloading and it slowed down my internet ridiculously. Cheers for the info Malcom. I've decided on a 600W PSU but to be honest, the higher spec Corsair ones and others are just out of my budget. To be honest I'm just buying it for World of Warcraft and basic video editing etc. With my build it will probably able to run Crysis but I don't really need it for that. Bret, thanks for the heads up about your mate. I actually might need some parts very soon so I might be coming to you sooner than you think Daman, thanks SO much for answering my questions. I have no idea what it is lol. My brother bought it from Pakistan so not only is it most likely going to end up as an oversized paperweight, it probably is made out of paper! I got it from the website that Agnarak mentioned. If only I had a little more cash I would have bought one of the Corsair PSUs. For the meantime, the 600W one should hopefully do. I've ordered the parts so now I just have to play the waiting game. I can't wait!

Ah thanks for looking it up for me. I was on the same site too lol. I'm going to get a 600W PSU. Scott, I understand what you're saying about the PSU budget but its just out of my budget. Hopefully I won't regret it in the future! Honestly, I really appreciate all the help you guys have given me. Next month, I'm going to send goodies to all you guys when I get paid

I've got all of the above except for the stuff in my list.

For my set up, 450W is recommended so I guess a 550W would do.

Ah all taken on board guys. Thanks. Tony, what you changed your mind about?

Is a good PSU really that important? I'll do it if you think its vital to have a Corsair one. Is everything else okay in your opinion?

Oh thanks for that! Yeah the final list has changed a bit. What do you guys think of these parts?

Okay I'm a retard. Just scrolled down the page and all the info is there lol

Yeah looks like Daman is the man.

Yeah Malcolm I think you're right. I just need to find out a few details like which OS, delivery cost, discount etc

Hey I'm quite interested. I've also compiled my own list for a built computer. Can you please let me know what you think of it? 1. Gfx card: AMD (ATI) Radeon HD 6850 1GB Ebay: £145 Buy it Now- Can probably bargain with the price http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-ATI-Radeon-HD-6850-3D-Graphics-Card-1GB-NEW-/250732296048?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item3a60cf3770 2. Motherboard:Asrock AMD Socket AM2+ AM3 DDR2 & DDR3 Mainboard http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Asrock-AMD-Socket-AM2-AM3-DDR2-DDR3-Mainboard-/140484239553?pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item20b58360c1 3. AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Unlocks To Quad Core Phenom II X4 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-Athlon-X2-5000-Unlocks-Quad-Core-Phenom-II-X4-/140486088454?pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item20b59f9706 The reason for purchasing this motherboard is because it allows the CPU to be unlocked into a Quad Core Phenom and the motherboard looks pretty good too. 4. RAM: Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 XMS3 i5 Memory Kit CL9(9-9-9-24) 1.65V http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173122 http://image.ebuyer.com/UK/w0173122_normal.jpg 5. Seagate ST3250318AS 250GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 8MB Cache - OEM http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159691 6. Power supply: EZCool 500 Watt Quiet Silent PC Power Supply PSU 500W http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EZCool-500-Watt-Quiet-Silent-PC-Power-Supply-PSU-500W-/360310738482?pt=UK_Computing_PowerSupplies_EH&hash=item53e4318e32 I've already got a large ATX Alienware style case. Total comes to roughly £350. What are your thoughts? Daman, what is the club discount for members? It says that the Athlon II Gaming PC is Vista and 7 ready. Do you get any of the OS' with the PC?

Okay just had a chat with my brother and I'm gonna go build my pc. Like I said, I just want to run WoW smoothly. So I think this is the parts list: I only have: * Case * 400 Watt power supply adapter So what I need going from your list Scott is: Motherboard CPU RAM Hard drive Cd Drive My brother reckons he can get all that off ebuyer and eBay for under £400 for my specifications. I don't necessarily want a comp that runs a beast like Crysis or something. Surely this would be enough? Thanks Scott for teaching me the £ sign

Ah appreciate the info guys. Actually I'm not looking for a beast of a gaming computer, just one that can run WoW smoothly and editing some game videos I intend to record via a capture card. ScottM, what gfx card have you got out of interest? I might just get a half decent tower at Currys for it but I'm not sure. How can Damanc help me? Has he got some sort of crazy liquid cooled Alienware type PC? Malcolm- appreciate the offer. I'm just gonna go over the details with my bro first.

Like Dude says, there is a way to sort it out but, me being in the legal profession, I can't state what it is. Sorry to hear this. What a complete utter fucking dick

Hey guys. I was just wondering if you guys were aware of any deals for gaming PCs for below 400 quid (can't do pound sign on my HTC for some reason). I just want the tower itself without monitor etc. Obviously, considering the budget, its not going to be top spec but a decent one with a good graphics card and RAM would do. Anyone who suggests a good link which I use to buy the PC gets a gift! (No Paul, its not a bomb)

Yeah I'd rather have the PS Move. Its cheaper (although works out more if you take into account 4 players) and there is more scope for appeal for core gamers.
