Buying a new computer

[Rorytymon]

Hi my old one broke and am in need of a replacement. I am willing to spend £600-700 maybe a little bit more if you can justify it. I need it for statistics software and games like battlefield and wow etc.

Please help me as I'm lost on the internet haha!

Are you comfortable building your own?

 

[Rorytymon]

Hi I'd rather not but I would give it a go it seemed to save a lot of money

 

[Rorytymon]

Bump

Just got home. Give me a minute and I'll piece together a rig for you. What kind of statistics software?

 

[Rorytymon]

Hi mate thanks for your time, it's a small software called SPSS but I don't know how much memory it uses. Bare in mind I'm a novice at computing but trying my hardest to learn haha! I might be slow to reply because I'm going to play some snooker soon

Check out Newegg and their build videos. They instruct you on how to build a PC. It's pretty easy if you take your time.

Cool this looks nice, is this system what you would get if you were buying for that sort of money?
