For the past 3 weeks I've been ducking and diving around this and many other web sites in a vain attempt to put together a system.
As ever with these things its a balance of price against performance.
PLEASE could you cast your critical eyes over my proposal and give me your e-pinion. - I'm looking for the "best bang for buck" as you would say - particular - Graphics card! - I still have to dig for the best prices.
Thankyou
