Hi. I'm completely new to this so sorry if some of my questions may seem stupid

Well, first off, I live in the UK and was wondering where can u buy the PC hardware parts, preferably a .co.uk website. At the moment, i can only see the newegg.com website, and as its in dollars and abroad, there will be shipping fees that will be extra money I'd rather not spend. Also, to brand names matter at all?

Also, the game I have at the moment is the Orange Box for the pc, and as my computer wasn't boughtfor gaming (just normal word processing and internet use) the game runs extremely badly even on rock bottom settings (my ping on tf2 is 5-30, so it isn't the internet). On my new computer i plan to buy, i would like to play assassins creed 2, call of duty 2, left 4 dead 2 and maybe need for speed world online if it has good reviews. I wanted to know what computer specifications should i look for. My budget is approximately £700-£800, and I don't plan on upgrading it. (i want to buy the computer by mid-augustish)

As well as that, I wanted to know a bit about the cases. How do you know whether a case is able to fit all the components. Say, if you had 2 x 2GB ram, how do you know whether the computer case is able to fit two rams?? And how do you know whether graphics card will fit in etc.

And do you know any old games which are any good? I like games that will last long, have good storylines, and if they have online multiplayer, some people still play online. But not games that will have their second / third versions coming out soon (like left for dead or assassins creed)

Last thing, is it worth buying a game controller for the pc? If so, which one?

Thanks in advance
