New computer ordered :)
#65
Right, due to my impatience in saving up money I have decided to build a rig myself. The spec is as follows:

Zalman Z3 Plus case (£40)

XFX 650 Watt PSU (£70)

Asus Z87-A motherboard (£94)

Intel Core i5 4670k (£135 second hand)

Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600=Mhz memory (still bidding)

GPU (not decided)

500 gig HDD from old laptop

60 gig HDD from older laptop before

22" ViewSonic HD monitor (for my bday)

Just had a look at gaming laptops and it seems they have gone below the £1000 barrier now for a half decent one. I don't need the portability at the moment but I am wondering if going back to desktop is a mistake...

You tend to forget everything you get included in a laptop such as monitor, keyboard, webcam and trackpad. Anyway I don't have the £800 upfront for an entry level gaming laptop anyway so who am I kidding Big Grin And such a laptop would be adequate in performance, but I would still be paying more for less and it would be nice to be able to game properly after always having had to make do on low detail settings.
