Hey guys,
I am selling my computer for 450 quid, and I have 150 quid in my wallet, so 600 pounds altogether. Can somone give me ideas of a whole PC I could buy with that money. I want a good gaming pc that should last me 2 years! I want a PCI-E MOBO and I need a TFT monitor, preferably a 19" one.
thanks alot guys

Buy a computer like your old one for £450 then spend the extra £150 upgrading it.

or

The only chance you have to get a *reasonable* new pci-e computer with TFT for £600 is to watch the bargain section and pick up on a dell 'misprint' deal. And be prepared to wait.

psu £40 Akasa 400w
case £20 Original Gaming Bomb
cpu £90 3000+ stock cooler
939 mainboard £50 ULi ASrock 1695
(see anandtech review this motherboard)
hdd £45 80gb/120gb
ram £60 1gb
gc £70 9800pro
cd/dvd £20
kb/ms £20
case fan £10

415 base
175 17" tft viewsonic vx715

you could probably save on the tft and go pci 6600gt

it won't last 2 years but you can upgrade it alot.. all the latest standards and sockets

£600

heh you arent really going to manage that but it depends on your version of a decent gaming pc. The thing that throws it all out of kilter is your need for a TFT and the cost of graphics cards these days. It would have helped if youd given us an idea on your expectations about games capability. You dont really seem to be bringing any extra money to the pot but still want a tft. Where does the improvement come from if you expect more?

Custom PC recently did an article about making a gaming pc for £500.but they cannibalised bits and knew how to overclock. The minimum gaming card i would get i a 6600gt.

Try Mesh who have a decent pc plus tft for 599, although pay the extra £50 and go 6600gt.

Well, actually guys, I am keeping my 5200 with me, so I don't have to buy a new gfx card just yet I can save my 150 and buy a good one at X-mas, so thankjs alot guys!

[999tigger]

Is the 5200 a pcie gfx card? Not really in the realms of a gaming machine m8.

Oops, I forgot Or maybe I can hold out on games for 2 months and use integrated graphics, I canb still play CSS! Because now i'm thinking this:
LG 19"TFT-200
AMD X2 3800+-250
1GB RAM-80
SLI MOBO-100
200GB HD-60
case-15 and will mod up
and tahts about all I need right now and at X-mas I can buy a new card

[999tigger]

What about your power supply?
Kopping out on the video card is a bit misleading as it can cost as much if not more than the CPU.

[PCuser21]

I can get a new power supply whn I get a new card, I can just have one that comes with teh case for now
