Hi all
I’m a newbie to this forum but have built 3 or 4 systems down the years so have a basic understanding of what’s what. My last build was about 3 years ago (AMD64 San Diego 3700, MSI K8T Neo, FX5900XT, etc) which I’ve regularly upgraded but it has now ‘died’ on me.
I need to replace my last PC but don’t have the time to build it myself so am thinking of buying/customising a basic system (such as they do at Overclockers and others) and would be grateful for some advice.
The new system will be used for some gaming (CoD World at War etc), photo editing, home office, internet, web design, etc, and I have a budget of £1,000 but would be happy to spend less if possible.
My plea for help is in two parts. Firstly, for what I’m looking to do, should I go for a desktop replacement or consider a laptop? Secondly, can anyone recommend any customised systems with the right sort of specs (I’ve seen a few but to be honest since I built my last PC I haven’t kept up to date with developments).
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated
Phil
