New PC

Im thinking of buying a new PC a 512MB of Ram ones but the question is can I just buy the tower.. Not a new keyboard.. not a new monitor just the tower... if yes how much would it cost round about?

 

check Dell.com for stuff like that. And get 1gb of ram, 512 isn't enough these days.

 

I cant find just the towers on Dell... how much are we speaking for 1GB roughly?

 

Not too sure beggsy, you need to research it m8.

 

I'll try PC shops at my area....

 

Dont goto PC World.. if you have that over there. They are con artists

 

Beggsy, what are you looking to do with the pc? If you walk into a pc shop, thats the 1st thing theyll ask you.

And I agree with flight, certainly get greater than 512MB of ram, i got 2GB. Also, get DDR2 ram as its faster.

I just got a new comp:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz
2GB DDR2-RAM
Nvidia 7900GTX 512MB

For that, i ordered the parts separately, and got a local pc shop to build it for me

 

Im using it for gaming... photoshop CS 3 etc...

 

If your gonna use it for gaming, a good guide is to look at the recommended system requirements of new games, and go one step above them.

 

and CS3, storing albums .... movies etc

 

If you get a pc for games, itll pretty much do everything else.

Yeah alienware is expensive.

Just research what you want in a comp (ie: what type of processor etc) and buy it at a local shop. Theyre generally cheaper.

 

I guess.. I dont know very much about PC's and processors etc..

Read reviews. they'll always give you a good indication.

I spent 2,500 AUD on mine but thats not very helpful.

 

Why not build your PC

Case no more then £40 quid for a nice looking one e.g. this for £39.99 on Xcase Database Design Software
