Wanted something for Uni, that I will *mostly* be typing on, but I'd like to be able to play some games in my free time. Prefrebly like it to be good enough to last a year or so before another upgrade, so I've taken alot of advice from reading many forums and chosen these parts. As you can see I am on budget ~£700/800
Not chosen my monitor yet, not sure betwwen a 15" TFT or 17" CRT. For moving perposes a TFT would be better, but I've heard bad things about them, plus I can save some money with the CRT.
Already got XP Home from upgrading my last pc, so I don't need an os
So is this ok? and will everything be compatible?
And finally any good uk sites? I've found planetmicro.co.uk and dabs.com to be pretty good, any cheaper though?
