Help With New Computer Mark II
Hello all.
Some of you may remember me talking about getting a new computer here.
Ethan found me a nice custom system. The problem is the link doesn't work anymore and I can't seem to re-find the correct parts. I need your guy's help to re-find it. If there are any improvements to be made I'll happily accept them as well (like if something's price has dropped and I can upgrade a part or something). Remember I'm getting it for christmas so if a part is on sale use the normal price when adding it up.
I think the total once I upped the PSU by a bit came around to £518.
Thank's in advance! :D

And yes I tried PM-ing Ethan but he doesn't want to reply. :c

bump for pretty much a new topic

wheres the motherboard?

Budget? I could help you out with a nice budget computer, maybe better than your current layout depending on the budget.

we need ethan to get in here

oh my God, you could do so much better for an 800 dollar budget. Let me do some sniffing around.

wheres the motherboard?
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AMD 760G (780L) Chipset DDR3 Socket AM3+ Micro-ATX w/ 7.1 Audio, GbLAN, USB3.0, SATA-III, 1 PCIe X16, 1 PCIe X1, & 2 PCI

also im not building it you know

I'd suggest going for a 68xx something instead of a 6670.  They're good but it can be better.

forget you can save much more money and get MUCH better parts with the money man.
Prebuilds add like another 200 dollars to the computer.

I can't afford more than what I've got. I'm already pushing it by going that far because the original budget was £500.

Also I can't build it okay? Don't even bother trying to get me to. Also I don't want to play really high end games on max graphics. Just want to play some decent stuff you know? :)

whynobuild?
A. I don't really want to, I'd mess something up.
B. Parents. They are great parents but they'd rather I didn't.
