ok well made this pc off urbans godly site www.komplett.co.uk... and the pc costs £1394 which is just within my spendin limit ^^. ive shoped around abit and this seems to be the cheapest lol. ne way here it is, i dont think i missed ne thing, dotn want a screen, mouse, or keyboard as i got brand new 1s here :x just need some1 to give the :thumbup: and say its all good and worth the price and ill be orderin it :fwave:
there is only 1 thing im worried about, and thats the network card. will i need 1 of these if im goin to network this new pc+my old pc together? or does it alrdy come with 1...this is just a upgrade/better version. if i do need 1 ill have to add it cause i will need to network my new+old pc :P

Cheaper motherboard, you don't need SLI with a single VC

that power supply really sucks, anything from thermalright is crap

this hdd holds a lot more and is faster in things like loadtimes in games

that means i dont need to add on a network card?

i added the things u said...not sure wot power suply to use the 1 u said aint there give u a pic of the 1s there.
also with the things u said the cost went down abit so i upgraded the processer to AMD athlon 64 FX-55 and comes to £1486 just within my £1.5k spendin limit lol.

does it cost ne thing to get the pc sent to u? delivery cost thing...like £20?

mainly buyin this pc for games and stuff like mir so this be good ye? :s

Out of those PSU choices the one you have selected is fine.
Yes, you DO NOT need to buy a network card.

With that config, games will be screamin fast

Might as well run some AV/AS while you still use the old machine, and what kind of cpu temps are you getting? Is Mir the program taking the 99%, or is it another program sharing the resources?

AV - Anti Virus.
AS - Anti Spyware.

AV - I suggest either AVG or Panda antivirus.
AS - I would say Microsoft Antispyware is the best.

As for the PC Restarting when it wants, it is most likely due to processor overheating. Download SpeedFan from the sticky in the PcH part of the forum, and tell us the temperatures.

I am pretty sure it is either that, or it is due to viruses/spyware.


---EDIT---
Put it a little bit wrong, doubt any virus or spyware would cause the system to restart (usually doesnt TBH.) but if the CPU Fan is crap, and the CPU is overheating when it is loaded, then well the spyware could cause the CPU to overload, wich would cause it to overheat, wich would cause the PC to restart .

ive run ad aware and spybot search and destroy all time and its all clean. wheres this speedfan thing? cant find it ;s

 

[urbanfox]

Just download this:

http://mersenne.org/gimps/p95v238.exe

run options>torture test>in place large FTT's

If your computer can run that and not restart or crash for an hour, then it's not a cpu problem.

Although the hardcore guys run it for 8-12hrs, for our little test we won't need that long.

I'm just curious as to what games you'll be running on this beast of a machine? If it's only things like MiR then it would be a waste of money getting this machine for it.

Well, as i said download MS Antispyware and AVG or Panda antivirus, they are ATM. the best around i would say.

Your post barely makes any sense. He wants to spend £1500 on a computer wich would be the best to run the most new games and stuff, urban gave it to him. Tell me what is wrong with the PC urban suggested??

[Shard]

So what website would you recommend Martyn?

 

[|5pl4t|]

Maybe he could customise a cheaper one? with the same specs?

Please, no one listen to martyn.

He has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, especially when it comes to buying a computer.

If anyone still wants to listen to martyn and his advice about buying computers after reading this thread, then may God save your soul.

So you subscribe to every thread you post in???

Anyways, Urban i think that is not the best proof, i think somewhere in the other games section (not sure but i think) where he posted a real smartass comment, but unfortunately i cant remember it. I will try to look it up though.
