hi,
I have become sick of using my laptop for gaming and have decided to build a pc for this and other purposes. I know my way around a pc but i am a complete noob to building. TheMatt suggested some questions i should answer.
Budget:
Around £500 (live in UK) can go above this if necessary
Brands:
None
Multitasking:
will be using it mostly for gaming, but also for net use, music, downloads, and some mathematics apps for my degree
Gaming:
Erm... perhaps a few hours (lol) a day
Calculations:
Will look to run Mathematica and Maple
Overclocking:
once i figure out what and how
Storage:
250+ GB
legacy support:
no
OS:
Vista
Case:
i stupidly bought a cheap case and PSU combo on Ebay which i from what i read on an above post is a mistake. didn't think it was that important

Accesories:
this will be a new build so yes, but am not including these in the budget. i am running my amp which has 4 speaker connects through my laptop and am thinking of continuing this through the PC
Recycle:
No
Monitor:
yes but it does not have to be massive
Stores:
Ebay, ebuyer, erm don't know really. there is a computer fair that is very reliable that my friends have used in the past
Location:
London UK
I have done a bit of research and am thinking of getting the
ASUS P5N32-E SLI socket 775 for a mobo and the E8400 CPU
.Thanks for any help
