Thanks. Yes I think you're right, I probably don't want to end up being the only point of call for tech support if I build it myself. My parents...
Hi all, here again for some advice on a pretty basic build. My father wants a desktop that he can use primarily for photo editing, and a bit of...
Thanks all for the input. I was waiting a while to see where the discussion arrived at. It seems like the consensus is that the higher clocked...
Ok, thanks, that was very helpful :) I will go ahead and recommend this build to my parents, but since I'm not around to help them set it up I...
Great, thanks for your reply :) Is there a reason you have opted for the AMD CPU? I was under the impression that Intel's offerings are faster,...
Hi, thanks for the reply. They are using the full Adobe CS 4 package for photo and video editing. Size is not a huge factor. As long as it's...
Hi, I need to find out the best setup for my parents who want to upgrade their computer. Budget: £1000 max although I reckon it can easily be...
The reason I went for a complete build is so I can leave my current computer at my parents house so when I visit I have a decent computer to use....

Thanks to everyone for the help. I've gone ahead with an order for most of what true_gamer put together with exception of the 7950 over the...

A 7950 is better when overclocked than a 660 Ti, but is that safe? Bearing in mind that I have no experience with overclocking anything and if...
Thanks for the input jinq-sea. Personally a bit of noise doesn't bother me, especially when I have a headset on and using skype :) I have had a...
Thanks v much True Gamer. Is that cooler necessary or could I go with a cheaper one like the H40? Also, is a liquid cooler hard to install? Do...
I see. Is SLI something that's straightforward to set up? Sounds like overclocking is easy so I will probably give that a go. Primarily I will...
No my current monitor is fine. It's 1080p.
Ok, so I'm not looking to break the bank (technically can afford more than £1000 but I don't believe in spending more than I need to): As far as...
No good reason tbh. I built my current setup, and haven't had any issues really. The main reason is because I'm lazy :P I'm doubt that I can...
Hi, I want to upgrade my computer which is about 3 years old now and lagging behind when running new titles such as Witcher 2 and Skyrim on...
