Hai, I am new to PC building and need help. <:S. I also need help with components as I am clueless ;(. So if you wise facepunchers could give me a build and advice for a computer that I will mostly use for: MSN, Net surfing, Gaming (most importantly) and general computing. The games that it will need to play are: Gmod, HL2 (in all forms), L4D and at a push *winces* crysis? This is me dreaming now, lol. I have a budget of around £450. So thanks for looking through this horrible mess I have written up and please help!
What can you recycle? [editline]12:13AM[/editline] Current specs also.

The new i3/i5s are kinda lame. You're just paying for a dual-core with hyperthreading. Nothing special there.
They're a lot cheaper and all you need for most current games. How many games can you name that take advantage of 4 cores? Two?
Ghost of me, the reason i chose an i3 is because they are a lot cheaper than i5s (750 is the one your saying) if i chose the 750 for him in that it would have gone way above £450, more like, 460-470

Right cheers everyone! I don't have any current specs as I am working off a laptop right now. It wheezes with even really old games! So this and friends nagging me to play games with them has inspired me to get off the laptop. And it doesn't matter if this "project" goes a little over budget.
I am these friends :D. His current PC is a P4 prebuilt (I think), it runs out of memory with about two props in gmod, he has a mouse though. The power supply is probably a :happyelf: brand.
Too rite bro. My parents desktop makes me cry.
My mum just got a mac book pro... looks nice and all but shes adiment it is faster than my i5 5850 8gig build >.> I laugh at her ignorance.
Lol, Can someone suggest a good motherboard and/or a graphics card. Its my birthday this weekend and I may as well start getting parts.
You may as well start from scratch, that case is probably BTX as it is. [editline]09:07PM[/editline] If a computer is over 4 years old and prebuilt upgrading is pretty much a lost cause.
