Tornado gaming PC - Is this an alright pc for the money. - Hardware & Software

I plan to buy a new pc as my old one is very outdated. The one I found which I thought was good was the Tornado from ukgamingcomputers.co.uk. I was wondering if anyone had bought this PC before (Or bought anything from this company) and could tell me if it was alright?

AHAHAHA, I have that case, got it for £30. Really, that computer is horribly priced. [editline]28th September 2011[/editline] Well, my case has the solid side panel and none of that ricer internal lighting.

obligatory: tell us your budget and we'll give you a list of parts and prices for you to buy and put together

I know it would be cheaper to buy all the parts separately but I don't have the knowledge on how to put it all together. Which is why I plan to buy from a company as they fit it all for me.

there's also the bonuses of a better warranty, you get to learn about things that'll help you out down the line and it's kinda fun

That's pretty much the golden rule for not breaking anything

It also feels great when you're done and it all works. It's a great experience.

I built mine as a just-gone-15 year old. It's not hard at all. You can't break anything. You're in the UK, I reccomend SCAN.CO.UK. If you like, you can get "scansecure" insurance with your stuff, where you get a replacement for anything you break (not that you will).

I built a computer similar to this myself a few months ago, with a better PSU and a slightly bigger hard drive and the price was about the same. If you want to save $50-$100, then buying all the parts individually would be a bit cheaper, but the computer isn't ridiculously overpriced. EDIT: Actually no, I missed the Euro sign, this is actually quite a bit more expensive than my PC. I would suggest building your own.

So I might as well repost what Shadaez said. [QUOTE=Shadaez;32403257][img]http://puu.sh/5U0p[/img] just don't do this[/QUOTE]

Do you guys ever read the fucking rules? It doesn't say criticize the shit out of him for getting prebuilts, but that we are to offer help. (Assuming you have any.)

Newegg has a set of great tutorials, even if you can't buy from there.

It won't take nearly as long as the videos are if you can figure most of it out from text based tutorials, and if not, the time spent learning will be well worth the effort. Once you've built your own computer, it's unlikely you'll ever have to take one into a 'repair shop' again. You'll save hundreds of dollars.

Most of us won't give you a hard time....unless you did something incredibly stupid like glue the heatsink to the CPU.
