Computer I plan to get...

[Acerius]

Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

I know it may not seem like the best computer, but I'm tight on a budget and hopefully by then Mister Osbourne would of lowered VAT and taxes. Tell me what you think and if you think that everything is balanced. Don't start bragging about how your PC is better or how this is rubbish, please.

Good price and a good computer, but i recommend that you buy an upgradable pc. The processor isnt the best. Good choice though

I am not a super l33t computer guy. But planning to get a PC now, for next year may be not the best idea. Technology in this genre is changing fucking fast.

Nice build but i would recommend buying a better GPU/CPU rather then wasting money on a CPU liquid cooler, they are not really needed unless your heavy overclocking and even then its just a waste when you could get a better stock CPU for an extra $40/£30. A fan controller is good thing to have but i would recommend once again upgrading the CPU and not wasting money on it, upgrade it in the future if you really need it or you could put that extra money into a different case, building a computer in a small case can be a pain =/

I definitely agree with you, with this computer, I would say upgrade the CPU; even if it seems like a waste of money, later on down the road your computer won't have struggles trying to run newer games. I'm more curious to how much ventilation that computer will get, and how many fans you'll have for it.
Also get windows 8, windows 8 is best. (I'm kidding of course.)

As a PC builder, I would recommend you getting a better CPU p, an i5 3570k is good because you can overclock it, the gpu is good enough tho, also, I would say get a larger psu, maybe a seasonic 750w one, I have it and have never had any power problems.

Windows 8 does suck, but if you have the money, apparently windows 8.1 Is amazing. (Haven't tried it tho)

You need a hard drive for mass storage, you can get a 6gb/s 1tb version of them for around £50-70 and they allow you to store all your games, movies, pictures and other goodies
(You probabably don't need 1tb but my 1tb drive is getting filled up with games and i only have half of them installed)

This comment here is just stupid. Joseph clearly stated that he will use the money for bills and so on.. not anything that he could be without

As a person who buy parts for pc and upgrades it; Buy all the parts you can for building a pc, this will be much easier as you can upgrade it instead of buying a whole new one. My reccomandation:

Buy a decent 3.0 -ish ghz processor ( ghz isnt very important )
Find a graphics good decent graphics card. I like the geforce gtx 700-series best if you are looking for gaming.
If you want newer games like: Cod ghosts, ac4 and bf4, buy a 1600mhz gb 8.

I personally like/enjoy the upgradable pc's best as you can upgrade your pc instead of using more money for better specs.

The PC is a good PC. But... Why are you buying a PC when according to your other post your in need of money?

The fundraiser was for my family directly; as being in care of the local authority I get an allowance. The fundraiser wasn't for me.

Uh, excuse me - the fundraiser is for my family. I get an allowance from Social Services which equals to £10 a week which I'm not allowed to spend on my family so I've made plans to save up for a new PC.
