spenno182 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm after some help if possible, basically I need a new PC because mine can currently barely cope with the new Football Manager. I really dont have the knowledge to build 1 myself so realistically i'll be looking to just buy the whole package in 1. As i've said I dont know much about computers but I do know that what I want is something that can run FM with a load of leagues quite easily and probably something than can run other games as well. I'm probably looking to spend around £600, dont need a printer or anything like that and would be willing to spend a bit more if it got me something really good. Any ideas? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 http://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Gaming+Range/Trident/Gladiator+Trident+Performer+?productId=33217#rqc That right there will do just about anything you put to it, and it's already built up for you. It does not however come with an OS, so if you don't already have an OS you'd have to buy one, which would put it over your 600 limit. I'm in the US so I'm unsure what VAT is exactly, but it brings the cost from 512-599. If that is out of your range, I'd suggest perhaps this. It will still run everything, just a little bit lower settings for some games. FM should be fine I'd think. Even if you add the OS to the price, it's still within range.

spenno182 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks, that 1st 1 is what i'm looking for really. I dont just need a computer than can play Football Manager, I want 1 that can run it really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Since when did Football Manager need a £600 gaming rig!?!? Overkill much? :p Anyhow, moving to tech as this is the wrong board I'd go to PC Option myself, for £520 you can get a pretty good system down the lines of a Core 2 Duo E8200, ATI 4850, 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD. Vista is installed for that too You could then use the rest of your budget (well, £100-£120 or so) to get a new monitor. Take a look on eBuyer, a standard widescreen 19" monitor will set you back somewhere around £90-£100 and 22" for about £120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 This should probably be on the Tech board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he needs a new monitor, he just wants a new rig. Honestly, if he was able to build one I would have listed a bunch of parts as opposed to a prebuilt anything. Oh, and links go real well with advice, kinda like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenno182 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yeah I probably dont need a monitor, thanks for the help guys. I probably dont need to spend that much money either, I just wanted to give myself a good budget just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 To be honest, if i was in your circumstances i'd simply be looking for a basic Intel Core processor, an ATi 3850 graphics card, a couple of gigs of RAM and a decent sized hard drive. Should set you back £350, will try and find an example. EDIT: Yup, http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk will do you exactly what i was thinking of. £368 inc VAT + delivery Intel Core Duo E2200 ATi 3850 Graphics Card 2GB RAM 250GB Hard Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
