As title really - I want to upgrade to a decent base unit from the AMD 2200 powered one I have at the moment. Spec needs to be circa:

3.0 Ghz or above (P4 or AMD)
1024 RAM
300gb HDD
256Mb seperate graphics card (may consider 128?)
Decent sound card (on-board sound considered if I have to!)
DVD R/W (+/-)
DVD ROM
Floppy
Card Reader
Lots of USB Ports
Black/Silver case (vain!)
Software not required

Don't really want to go to a high street shop as I expect I will pay a fortune for c**p so has anyone got any recommendations and an indication of what I would expect to pay - or one for sale for that matter?

Thanks

Nick

 

If you just want a new base unit, try here:

If you want one in a nicer case, try http://www.overclockers.co.uk/, they do pre-builds.

 

To be honest... you should build one..

Not in the slightest bit hard as long as you do your homework on what is compatible and what isn't..

See overclockers for that too. the forums there or here is a good place for questions and help before and during the build.
