Do you already have hard drives and optical drives? RAM? By tower do you mean everything EXCEPT monitor, keyboard and mouse? What will be the purpose of the system? Intense gaming? Just surfing internet? Where are you located? Do you have any experience assembling systems? By your statement about " what bits will fit together" I expect not, so you may want to consider just a prebuilt system. Again, the equipment should be dictated by the purpose.

Details like that will be helpful.Editted

thanks jackhe could buy the parts and ask a local tech shop to help, oh, if you can figure out how much £400-500 is in US dollars, then i might be able to tell you what you may be able to getHere is a currency calculator Dead_reckon:

assuming this thing is ACCURATE, you have the equvilant of 924 us dollars, if you have a full 500 euros to spend, which, should be enough to make a great rig, you can build a 939 64 bit system for about 500 US dollars, i'll leave the part finding to GX1, its too early for me to be shoppin on the net, lolQuote

You don't have a clue what you are talking about.


tucker, you are like a parisite, everywhere i go, there you are, leaching onto my sanity...You seem to be on a budget so ill pice together a system that wont break that bank for YA as an example of low cost,

http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=321814 Heres a mother Board thats quite Cheep,

http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=320788&cks=ACC , this is a Dual core AM2 , i dont see the point in buying any less than a Dual core now. the single Core chips are a bit cheeper

http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=301111&cks=ACC , Some DDR2 Ram , made by CORSAIR not a bad brand , and not to pricy

http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=318606&cks=ACC , and a PCI Express GFX card , Mid range

If you want to invest more into your computer you can get some much better stuffYou forgot the cool case, and the optical drives, and the operating system, etc. Plus he's going to have to assemble it or pay someone to do it. .... What's the tab so far?i cant go and build the guys entire PC... and my Definition of a cool case was 150Quid... so I'm going to leave that out.


Mobo £57.00
CPU £195.01
RAM £59.00
GFX £140.00
£451

OK that leaves you with 50 quid for a case PSU and CDrom... hmm that would be kinda tight
But frankly i wouldn't want to get any Cheaper parts

I don't really think you'll get what you want for 500, you could take 100 off the price of the CPU but you would regret it
