Posted October 26, 2006 http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk Go to make your own pc and put those specs in. You will get it cheaper. Had mine from there and the customer services are good and the delivery arrives after it's been built (usual 2-3weeks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2006 Well you're basically paying for nothing on that physics card. It only helps in a handful of games, and doesn't boost the performance considerably. edit: If you don't like waiting you could always go to the nearest PC store order the stuff (they might even have them in stock), and build the system yourself or let a relative/friend do it for you.

Posted October 26, 2006 Nah mate, listen to us lot, Dull are really crap, and over priced, and come with loads of preinstalled shite on them. PC Specialist are (a) good, and (b) cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 26, 2006 Dell are indeed overpriced. You can afford a even better PC than what they offer and the fact is if something goes wrong you're in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather go for the 7900GS really! The 7300GS is a bit <_< Anyway, just build your own, more fun. Core 2 Duo E6600 £220 Asus P5B Deluxe - £140 2gb Ram - £180~ 250gb HDD - £55 PSU - £50 Case - £50 7900GS- £120 That's like .. £850. And it'll be much better at overclocking with that motherboard too.

Had mine from there and the customer services are good and the delivery arrives after it's been built (usual 2-3weeks) I strongly second this. I used pcspecialist and I built a nice system at a surprisingly good price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
