Building a PC
Building a PC
I am thinking about spending about R8000 (The last bit of money in my bank account!) on building as good a PC as I can. Does anyone have any ideas as to which graphics card , CPU, CD Drive, Motherboard, case, screen, speakers etc. I could use?
What you gonna be using it for? Games or work? If work, what work?

Lots of sites like www.take2.co.za offer a "build your own pc" service, and updates the prices as you go on. Use that and see what your options are within your budget.

Why is it that rich ( . Y . ) with too much money to burn always want other people to make decisions for them. Read the reviews, ask questions about specific product comparisons. But for crying out loud stop asking people to choose your PCs for you
It's you personal preference... next you'll be asking "What's the best Graphics card?" Or "Which is better, Ati or nVIDIA?"
Get off you a$$ and read older threads...it's all there

Sorry man...I just think it's lazy and thoughtless to have someone else design you PC for you. I figure it's a personal experience....Y0da wrote:Easy there Lord_Sybrwulf. No need to flame.
...I also get irritated when people don't look back at old thread, where the same question has been asked before.
Sorry for flaming...it out of character for me...

Hello Lazyonion,
Send me a PM, I will forward you my Cell no, and I am willing to assist you. No, you don't have to buy a system from me, my advice is Free![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
If you are in Durbs, I can easily assist you in selecting the correct combo, whether it be Intel or AMD, in other Cities I can point you to experts who will gladly do the same.
Why? Because we love PC's, benching, everything that goes with it.
Have fun, PM me if you are interested. Oh yeah, no strings attached![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

I can vouch for Mr Bean, he really knows his stuff.
What are you looking to do with your system? Gaming? Beyond gaming, what is important to you? Noise levels? Size? Convenience? Looks? What else will you use your system for - ie, do you have any specific requirements? (some arb software, need for a TV tuner, etc etc)
What do you have so far? Do you have a monitor? Speakers? Operating system?
When are you likely to upgrade? Will you most likely upgrade every few months, or only after a year or two? How flexible is your budget
?
