Ok so planning on getting me a desktop computer within the next few months as my laptops starting to get a bit old, also Ive only got limited space to actually install any games so can hardly play anything.

I want to get myself a decent gaming desktop but dont have a clue where to start of what to look for so any help is much appreciated so i can work out how much its going to cost me and where I'm going to get it from.

well I don't know what language you speak but if you speak Dutch (by any chance :santa: ) then www.kieskeurig.nl is a good site to start off with, it has a selectionsheet that lets you fill out everything you want/need from a desktop and gives actual info what every term you fill out stands for and what's it's use, I'm guessing this sort of site also exists in English?

Its a bit of a tricky one if you're not sure what you're doing, apart from my first PC I've built the rest of them from scratch myself (which is always by far and anyway the cheapest way to do it) Modern PCs from the likes of HP/Compaq etc usually come with crappy graphics cards and are a real bitch to upgrade to a good standard. You could get a dedicated "gaming rig" (Alienware or the Dell XPS for example) which will cost about a load more than the raw parts, for example a standard DELL XPS 420 which has a pretty good graphics card and a core duo processor will set you back £700, I think you could save a good £200 on that if you build it yourself

or find a local hardwarestore who sells and builds computers like I did for mine B)
Always ask if they can give you 2 or 3 builds, then you still got time to check what you like btw
