Help Building Gaming Desktop
Hi! I am thinking of buying a desktop for gaming but I am not toooo good with computers. I have some knowledge but not a lot! I have been on a few custom build websites but I am unsure what parts I should buy. I have looked at a few sites but I found Vadim a bit too pricey and pcspecialist ok but unsure of the quality. I have about £700-£800 to spend and would like a dual or quad core, preferably 4 gigs of RAM and a decent gfx card(s) if possible! Any suggestions on parts/websites? Like I said, I put together a decent enough rig on pcspecialist with quad core, 4 gig RAM, 1 gig gfx etc but due to my inexperience, I thought I would find some help first!! Thanks a lot!!! Ben
