Anyone know any websites I can get a good value for money gaming PC?
I have these sites already:

[url]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/[/url]
[url]http://www1.euro.dell.com/uk/en/dfh/df.aspx?refid=df&s=dfh&cs=ukdfh1&~ck=betafrbsd[/url]
[url]http://www.advancetec.co.uk/[/url]
My budget is around about (maybe) £500
[url]www.ebuyer.com[/url]
And build it
Those sites seem nice, but be sure you read the reviews before making a purchase.
Also, check out ibuypower as well.
Of course, you could build one, too...
Naa I think I would fail miserably at building a PC
Easy peasy

I wrote a guide:

There's plenty of videos out there explaining it. The "hard part", at least for me, is mounting the cpu cooler... but the directions are outrageously well explained. No worries, mate.

An extra $50 for a good heatsink is totally worth it in my opinion. All-around better for a really low price.
Mugen 2 is nice.
correction, way less than that for a Freezer 7 Pro
[I]same pins but so much fucking easier[/I]
also since when did the F7P get a second version?
ooh i5/i7 and AMD, does it still fit 775 though?
Build your own, it's quite easy as the others have said.
If you need reassurance, mess with an old, unused computer you have lying around, and get comfortable with moving your hand in cramping, tight conditions, (In some cases). It's really easy though, and using a guide, you can't mess it up unless you drop something or build static on your socks or something.

Get a nice case and a full ATX mobo and you won't need to move your hands in "cramping, tight conditions".
I think the fact is that I'm 13 and I doubt I'll get it to work and it would be easier on the whole to get a pre-built PC

"oh no i'm x years old i can't accomplish this because i'm to young for it"
Build it, wiseguy.

No, you can.

Built my first at the age of 12.
[url]www.newegg.com[/url]

dad buy my some mcdonalds while I make my PC
then you spill your coke all over your PC once its built
then you buy alienware
I "refurbished" a computer at the age of 11.
Build it! It's easy. The hardest part is the CPU Cooler, and the screws for the Mobo. Really.
It's like lego's but even easier because it's well documented and the majority of things nowadays only fit in one way, just make sure you don't brute force anything in.
Ok, maybe I should make my own, anyone got any good guides that they have used to build their own computer?
Also combine guru for some reason the link wont work.

Most of the parts you buy will come with their own specialized and detailed instructions. As long as you know the main things (see above post) when attempting to build one it will be fine.
I did my first build when I was about 12 with around the same budget as you've got now. Currently running a £1400 PC that I built.
