Looking for a new desktop.
As the title says, i'm looking for a new desktop computer, my budget is around £300-500, yes I realise it isn't much, but it's something. Do any of you know any good computers for this price?
A true scot.
I got my computer for 500$ used, I have to say it's pretty amazing for it's price.

Try getting a used one or buying one from sites like newegg.com or ibuypower.com, i'm sure you can find a very nice computer for that.

*Someone in my area is selling a computer that can run any up to date game fine and also comes with a gaming keybord and mouse and a widescreen monitor, if I found two great deals like this in my area i'm sure you can find some in yours/on the internet.
$500 is enough for a gaming PC nowadays, however I'm best at building PC's, so I can't recommend a branded PC.

Make sure to get a computer that has:
A CPU with a decent cache size, however L3 cache is not important.
A CPU that has at least two physical cores, more than two isn't necessary.
A GPU that is ATI 4000/5000 series, or Nvidia 200 series for that budget. (Or better if you can )
At least 3 or 4 GB's of RAM.
Sapphire HD 5850
Asus P7P55D PRO
Core i5 750 (2.66 GHz)
Patriot Sector 5 4GB Dual Channel
CoolerMaster HAF 922
Corsair TX 850W
Hitachi 1TB Sata 2
DVD ROM Asus 24X Sata
I only understand $, so this desktop is around $1200, it support CrossfireX so the 850W sounds... Hmm BIG? Maybe Voxus can edit the specs.

$1200 USD is around 800 pound.

AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8GHz Quad-Core AM3 95W
G.Skill 2×2 GB DDR3 1333MHz
AMD Radeon HD 4850
Samsung 24X model DVD drive
NZXT GAMA-001BK (case)
Antec BP 550W Plus (power supply)

The total cost of that is around $270 - $300, which leaves plenty for monitor, keyboard and mouse
Change the HD 4850 to HD 5770 or 5850 (well it cost more) for extra DX11 performance

Well, it's the latest technology anyway. Besides, 5770 and 4850 have the same price.
