Hey, im looking at gettting a new computer.Im considering getting one from e-bay but i think a brand new one would be a wiser decision. I've been looking at computers from £400-£600 but cant find anything decent.

I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a good deal and if so plz could they post the site.

Build it yourself TBH, best value you can get when it comes to gaming desktop computers. Read around the tuts in here about picking out parts and assembley

Basically dude if you just read through Komet's Pwnage PC Building guide, to get a rough idea of what pwns and what doesn't. You be able to piece together a sick rig for a nice price without the help of a website. Once you know what is what you can stroll on over to www.scan.co.uk or www.overclockers.co.uk for UK prices and details. £400/£600 I'd be looking at something C2D and DX10 but then again, you might struggle to build and entire PC of that spec on that budget.

Had a quick glance on ebay first thing I saw, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gaming-PC-E6600-X195...1QQcmdZViewItem

Not bad for a full system I guess, £99 over budget.. You just need to know what you should be looking for, so hit up Komets guide!

This is exactly what has been going on through the entire thread, and it's not the first time either.
You come to us for advice..you just spell out what you want to get, and then ask us if it is okay, and we have to explain why it isn't. That's the world upside down.. If you would just say 'hey guys, I have an X amount of money, what should I buy?' Then this would be over in 2-3 posts, not 2-3 pages.

Every time someone goes against Weiman's sig I feel like they should be bludgeoned for a few minutes in the head to feel the headache I feel when I realize someone really IS that dense.

well according to them on ebay, it says they have over 30 years of experience in IT field collectively, I don't think so.... How many people do they have working? 30? that would equal about, 1 year each.

It could be an honest mistake, I know that AMD brands their CPU's weirdly, like 4400+ (2 cores each at 2.2).

All of our XFS PC's are designed and built from scratch by our skilled team of technicians. With almost 30 years of collective experience in various sectors of the IT industry, you are in good hands from the moment you purchase. We pride ourselves on building high spec cost effective, quality units, ranging in price from £350 right up to over £5000. As you can see from our auctions and indeed our website. We only use branded enthusiast components in every XFS machine. It is against both our business mantra and our moral conscience to use anything but the best in our custom PC's. Take a look around the various sellers on ebay and you will see that we are in a different league! Every single component is specifically named and branded. We actually think about and test all of our builds at the design stage to ensure exceptional performance. Only PC's that meet our stringent expectations at this early testing stage are worthy of being adorned with the XFS logo. If you have any questions or ideas you would like to put to us, please feel free to contact us

For example..

I have 5 years...
Komet has 5 years...
Stab has 5 years...
noobmaster has 5 years..
Weiman has 5 years..
AZN has 5 years..

Yea.. The collective experience here, and at Techbums would be an average human life span if not more.. They just need to revise their advertisements tbh..

5 Years? Not by a long shot.

About a year I'd say
