Are you looking to get a gaming system pre-built, or could you build it yourself?
Also, how much is your budget?
You should check out some of the reviews on hexus - im sure they will answer you some questions.
well im doing a computer building course in spetember for a year and was going to get the system in a bout a years time so i could build or buy
my budget will be about £1000
the only thing about buliding it myself is windows. windows xp home costs £300 on its own. unless anyone know any cheaper place to get it not pirate copy. dont wont any thing out side the law.
If you build yourself in the UK then:

If you want one built - then e-mail Kustom, tell then what you want to do with the system and what your budget is and they'll spec it up for you

EDIT: Get an OEM copy of XP Home with the componenets you buy - £50ish ;)
Yeh OEM windows XP pro from ebuyer is £90 or so. I built a pc off ebuyer parts, worked out quite good price.
Since you're not building for another year, its not worth asking now, technologies will change (Crossfire and the new ATI cores may actually be OUT <- poke at Andrzej) and you may have more of an idea for what you want.
At least wait untill 3 months before you actually build.
I would wait until 2weeks before you build. That would mean more cash and more price-drops and more technology :DQuote:
