    Nope, no tutorial sites, but i know all the components come with books etc. that may tell you where to put stuff.

    I know someone who can get me lotsa good stuff and then build it. [​IMG]

    anyway, cant you get your local PC shop to build it for you?

    This what I have, but i went overboard with mine[​IMG]

    Processor: Intel Core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz
    Ram: 2GB DDR2
    Video: Nvidia 7900GTX 512MB
    HDD: 120Gb

    HDD's are really cheap nowadays, i got mine for about 90 Australian.

    My graphics card cost 700 AUD so you probably dont need sumthing that powerful[​IMG]

    512MB of RAM definitely isn't enough for a new computer. My mum just bought a new laptop a few days ago and it has 2GB. My cousin got a new laptop last month and it had 1GB. They were brand new laptops, so a brand new computer would probably have 2GB too if you don't end up going for one to play games on with more RAM etc.

    Well good news people... I went into a Computer shop today and one of the guys said " If you bring it in and let us look at it, We can tell right away how much GB it could take If its 2 years old I doubt the motherboard would hold 2 GB maybe 1 GB " He said it could be around 60 to 100 quid is this worth it?

    Buying ram isnt expensive, its something you can do yourself. its sounds the guy smelt you coming from a long way.

    If your comp is about 2 yrs old, dont bother upgrading it, jus get a totally new one. As the guy said, i doubt ur motherboard would be able to take a new graphics card too. plus ull need a new processor. Beggsy, here are a few links to get u started:

    Graphics card: GeForce 7 Series
    I have the 7900GTX. DOnt go the 8 Series coz u wont need sumthing that powerful.

    Ram: Corsair Memory - XMS2 Series
