Humpy Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) May well end up having dual boot then if I can. Looking at more components now. Hummmm so much nice stuff out there. I'm sure 16gb of ram is enough lol Have you looked at motherboard/cpu/memory packages? Sent from the golf club... PC bundles - Aria, scan are meant to be good but not used them for a while. Ocuk ( overclockers ) normally have good bundle options and weekly deals. Also if you have a Novatec nearby, they are really helpful each time I've been. Only use them when I'm impatient and want something the same day, so take a nice little trip down to Port Solent Edited January 11, 2014 by Humpy Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Yeah agree Steve there are lots of good companies I also used Scan back in my uni days you don't stay around as long as them without being good I almost always got bundles as you knew everything was compatible Sent from the golf club...

evilscorp Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 New PC games might be harder to install on the free OS I hear. Here is a cheap case that fits everything in (quite tight with my 290x vapor x graphics card though)http://www.sharkoon.com/?q=en/content/t9-value, only downside is the two silver buttons on the front are a bit cheap.

spursmaddave Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Who needs a free OS I have run everything from win95 onwards and never paid Microsoft a penny, didn't mind buying OSX Mountain Lion as it was £14.99 but when Microsoft try and sell you their latest pile of crap for £200 or more no chance....
