help me buy a cheap good comp please!

[BeaverLJ]

hi you may not know me but i am a regular on here but i barely post. im a friend of Ash1234 and im looking for a new computer, but my budget really is 200 quid.
reason its a low price budget is simply because i have said 'bugga it' to keeping my job because of my GCSE year this year.
i would like the computer for gaming (mir and CounterStrike:Source mostly) and also for things like Microsoft word and things in it. the HD doesnt matter much because i have a 20 Gb in my other comp that, with the paid help of Ash1234, i could transfer across.

thanks in advance for any help and i hope you guys could help me find a new comp so i can concentrate easier on my coursework.

Just to say, dont worry about microsoft word and shizzle, i can get you that for free. Even windows if needed (cracked version obviously :P ), it will save you alot of money.

Never had a Sempron processor, my experience with a celeron one was a bad one though. :P

 

[Stonehelm]

Sempron was AMDs version of celeron, they were designed "office" use shall we say.

Every processor is silent, its only to cooling system that makes noise.

First of all... MD suck!

I work for www.aria.co.uk, use us instead

The good thing about putting the unit together yourself is that you can get exactly what you want. I can tell you now that you're not going to get alot for £200.

~HeavenSent~'s wasn't a bad base just need to spend more on the graphics card. (TurboCache(Nvidia)/HyperMemory(DAAMIT) "steals" your main system memory for use on the graphics card, not a good thing if you only have 512MB of system memory)

yes but i dont care if its 2nd hand or nothing i just want any comp that will take what i like thanks for elp people
