Right, I have been referred here by a friend. I would like a new computer, one that can run Garry's mod, Oblivion etc but nothing anywhere near as advanced as Crysis. I'm pretty much a computer building newbie, and don't know the first thing about doing it, so if anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated. I already have a keyboard, cd drive and a mouse. (although I need a new one) tl;dr: I need a new computer, and don't know shit. HELP! EDIT: In England, want to run, as I said, Garry's mod, Oblivion those kinds of things. Have a place to get Windows 7. Have a moniter I could use. EDIT ADDENDUM: These are the links I've been able to find. Can someone look through and see if it's any good?

budget, location, do you need a monitor, os, etc
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27396701]budget, location, do you need a monitor, os, etc[/QUOTE] Unsure of budget, but will probably be around £200-£300 Already have a place to get Windows 7 And I'm in Liverpool
Just steal one, isn't that what liverpudlians do anyway? I kid, I kid, scousers are amazing, you brought us John Bishop, but seriously though, you won't get much for 300 mate, you're talking 500-600 for a decent rig.

Aah, just source games, my bad.
[url]http://www.scan.co.uk/savedbasket/3a3dbbd3bf2b4ff9b9041fbcc02f5b60[/url] £315 with delivery, make sure to remove scansure wait for someone else to have a look at this, there's probably a better CPU/GPU for this budget (maybe an X3) but to be honest I'm not great with lower budget stuff like this if you want a new mouse go with [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-MX518-Optical-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B0015R8M7U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294974231&sr=8-1[/url]
You will be better off saving a little bit more. £400 would be much more adequate.
If he could afford another £5 on top of reapaninja's build he could go down to an x3 and get a 5750
Thanks for all the help, and as I said I'm unsure of what the final budget will be. I'll probably be using Birthday money, so I'm not really sure on how much I'll get.
When is your birthday?

[QUOTE=Kialtia;27434595]Awesome, me to, birthday bros :sun:[/QUOTE] Ayy! Nice one, to you too itsDivine!
You should let this thread die and come back to it when you have a proper budget. There's no point making a build now if you could get a lot more money, also price parts can change a lot in a short space of time
