Coffeepothead

Hello all, My name is Coffee Pot Head or Pot head for short :) I'm 21 currently studying IT in College, i'm a gamer and TV freak! Music rules all \m/ I'm also from the Newcastle area, whey aye man -cringe- Greetings, hello, hi and ahoy

Thank you for the help, in the end i opted for a second hand one from a friend, it's roughly the same as the top Ebay link but slightly better in parts and worse (320 HDD eeek) but it runs the game on high at 40-50fps during combat so i'm more than happy :) And it only cost £280, Now check out my other post about Breaking bad :P

More digging and i found this http://www.fiercepc.co.uk/entry-level/avenger-gaming-pc/ I added a 4core which brought the price up to £381.70 I've heard good things about crossfired processors, no clue what it means but still ;D Their "Gaming Mice" gave me a little giggle! Mice!

What's mainly throwing me off while searching for one is my lack of understanding for the processor qaulity. I've found this one though that seems alot better, still seriously considering building one myself, but knowing me i'd order the wrong part and it'll not be compatible :') [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=width: 10][/TD] [TD] Specification [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left]CPU [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left]AMD A8 3870K Black Edition X4 (4 x 3.0 GHz) FM1 (Radeon HD 6550D VGA) - [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left]Memory [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left]Corsair 4GB XMS3 PC3-12800 1600MHz (1x4GB) - Lifetime Warranty (DDR3) [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left]Graphics Card [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left]NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 - 2 GB - (ZOTAC) - (PCI-E) [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left]Motherboard [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left]Gigabyte A55M-DS2-FM1 (AMD A55) - VGA/DVI [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left]Motherboard [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 20][/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, width: 170, align: left]Power Supply [/TD] [TD=class: sb_itemborder, align: left]450W PSU [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] For some reason it's copied the table as well, oh welL!

Any fans here? BEST SHOW EVER! Was watching one of the latest Simpsons episodes and this was the couch gag. Didn't think it was possible to love The Simpsons more than i do already

In terms of upgrading i'd like to fit a better graphics card in the future. I have a little experience with fitting parts, only RAM and graphics card, i'll look into a custom built one a bit more before i make a purchase. Sorry for the the late reply, my laptop got infected with ransomware and it's proving a pain to get rid of :'] Thanks for the help!

I can't believe this thread has no replies! I know it's old but what the hell, Mine is the late and great Bill Hicks, the man spoke such truth and made people laugh at the same time.

I will, thanks for the help so far, i posted a similar post on the GW2 forums but all i got back was that it would cost at least £500 to run it on medium, which i thought had to be madness since a friend plays it on a laptop he purchased for £400 on these settings at 50-60fps

Yeah it may of cost that, 5 years ago! :P I guess it's just a marketing scheme. £397 That's the one i had my eye set on originally Thanks.

Hello all, i'm was hoping some one could shine a light on my problem here, i'm looking to run GW2 on say Medium settings during quests (or higher if possible) and my budget is £400. I've been looking around and i think these are the best systems i could find in my price range. Bear in mind i don't need a monitor and a OS is optional :) The first one is from Ebay.co.uk - This shop has a few priced around £350-£400 http://tinyurl.com/bv2rvst The second is from Palicomp http://www.palicomp.co.uk/gaming-pcs/amd-showdown.html There's also this one but it's at my end budget line http://tinyurl.com/cgzartf If anyone has any either of suggestions please do tell :) I would also like to upgrade in the future. Thanks in advance! A Coffee Pot Head!
