Ok so it's that time of year again for me i need to upgrade my QuadCore, but im hoping that this will be the last time for a while, sadly i dont have the time at the moment to build a PC it's just work work work can someone take a look at www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220810109552?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 i understand that for better power and performance building is far better but like i say this is a faster option for me as time is very limited.. Thanks for your feedback

Graphic card is lame. Try to settle without OS and invest that in a better gc rather. Also on top of that, there's no real specification...16gb ram means crap if you don't know which and what exactly is it, neither hdd specs etc... Imagine DDR2/667mhz ram, with 5400 rpm hdd and you'll know what i mean. But in reality it doesn't even matter much. You wont get any real hi-tec stuff for that price. Decent graphic card and cpu alone cost min. 300-400 eur..with that you need also ram, mainboard, cpu cooler, box, power supply, dvdr, any other toys etc...sh!tty choice I know. (= Just to give you an example of a average fair hardware pricing: PSU (Power supply unit): around 100 eur. Graphic card: around 160-200 eur. CPU: 180-220 eur. Mainboard: 100-150 eur. CPU Cooler: 50 eur. Memory: DDR3 /2x4 gb around 50-80 eur. DVDr : 20-40 eur. Thermal paste: 3grams around 10 eur. Computer case: 50-100 eur. HDD: 1tb (no green crap due low rpm's) 80 eur Average gets you around 700 eur or around 590 gbp. And that's a decent your own build computer where you have what you need. Now do the math, if you get more of other stuff in that computer, then you get less of rest. Fact is, any real gaming computer to cope with heavy loading, large textured maps etc...needs more rigged hardware then this, and believe me, every little thing counts. (= Bottom line, i just given you an example but u should be fine for an average user, just upgrade graphic card and take something from x800 family (i.e. 6850) and not x400-x500 bs crap..

okay so basically i should build for better performance and quality product? i admit the pre-build i have running now is ok but it's not fantastic, i could just get the parts bit by bit to get a better overal product, yeah sod it i'll build at least i'll get the result i need and (if i need to) just upgrade a few parts at a time Thanks Lo' (again)
