i am going to be on a budget of about £400 ish and need to know what sort of pc i will be able to get for this sort of money that i will be able to expand in time...and also importantly to be able to upgrade in the future.

any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

Well you could start off with a barebones bundle like this one:

A cheapish case:

A cheapish PSU like the 350w Abtec one:

A nice cheap TFT like the Dell one here:

And any keyboard/mouse combo (cheap one here):

and I believe thats about it...a bit over £400 but they're all upgradeable components and should last a while.....

Dell is the best ! Its no overclocking machine but its defently quality ware !

But anyway its very bad to become a Fan of something (AMD or Intel). If you realy dont want to go with Intel there take a Sempron. Semprons are pretty well performing Low Cost processors.

 

[iloveamd64smum]

so i could have an amd or intel....whats the difference..and which ones the best?

 

[FarFarAway]

My setup was £439 and i think worth every penny....

 

[iloveamd64smum]

is that the one in your sig?

What do you do with ypur PC ?

Play Games or Office'ing ?

 

[iloveamd64smum]

[FalconFX]

Ok then you schould go with the Sempron. So can you tell me what 400 is in $ ?

Well I think that that A64 bundle will be ideal for any of your needs!

£400.00 is roughly $800ish

dont really want to be playing games....mainly use for the internet, my daughter is going to high school soon so will need it to do her schoolwork on...would like it to be fast...with a dvd drive/rw

 

[FalconFX]

Ok without real prices in my head i would just list that :

AMD Athlon 64 2800+ Newcastle

Geforce 6600... maybe 6600 GT

512 MB DDR 400 (GEIL) RAM

60 GB WD SATA HD

Some Cheap case

350 W PSU | If money enough Enermax

MSI K8T NEO-FSR or ASUS K8V SE

NEC DVD Burner

That schould cost around that price and would be a OK system
