So they provide a few drinks for a LAN party and in turn you buy their energy drinks the rest of the year because they sponsor you? Seems like a pretty good deal for monster to me.

It's LE40 same one just 40" i think, it's going up tomorrow so will give you some feedback, i've heard some decent stuff about the quality of the samsung monitors and TV's and at £370 you can't really go wrong.

I predict a win for the SC this round.

I have the case, power supply and the HD failed to be delivered and is being redelivered on saturday, just waiting to get all the bits together. Bought a TV this month so progress will be a little slow until next month.

I've got a cosh (sp?) in the kitchen and a lock knife, that's it really, there is the kitchen draw of course.

Just bought this https://www.overclockers.co.uk ... duct.php?prodid=HD-082-SA

this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/pro ... UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Bought a power supply aswell but can't login to my ebuyer, think it was a corsair 650W. The yellow one.

Hmm i quite like the coolmaster one, i'd just have to fill the top mesh with drives or plates

The whole AMD intel thing confuses me, i've only really heard about intel and i'd prefer the i5 tbh. Or which would give me the best performance?

Why what's wrong with it? Everything i've read about them has been pretty positive. Though i am going to try and see one in a build before buying. Does the rest seem ok though?

I like this one, if i can find one that i like that's cheaper obviously i will get it.

Ya?

Just had a look at the overclockers guide which was pretty helpful and im quitely confident now

@Jak - It's not very active and alot of people just post specs.

I suppose i'd have to buy Windows 7 too?

Are there any good forums/websites where i can see other builds and look at some guides?

Quote from DeKo :

I could never bring myself to spending 80 quid on a keyboard, thats madness.

An 850W PSU is complete overkill aswell, unless you're running dual xeons with 4 cards in SLI/Crossfire, you do not need that much, or anywhere near it.

Greboth said 750 so thought more was better so just put 850 on there and like i said before, the kb etc will probably change when it comes to actually paying for it.

Ok, thanks for the help guys, will be buying the case and a few bits next week on paypday hopefully.

Well this is actually the first time i've ever really looked at PC components so bare with me a little

I don't have a clue about what you said at first I don't know how long this will take and i'm not exactly desperate for it i'm going to buy the bits that i can't see going out of date first like the case etc and im looking at getting a 24" LCD 1080p along with it. This is what i have so far, please point out stuff i can save money on or things i don't need/ entered twice. I need to do some research! Note that speakers, mouse, kb etc are included so its not really over my budget.

Well what i want is something that will run lfs iracing etc on full graphics with good fps and some in my pocket, i don't think i'm going to be running crazy games on it. What i can afford is a difficult area, i don't want to spend over £250 on one but i don't want a cheap one i'll have to upgrade in a year, aslong as it does above i'll be happy with that.

Processor is going on my list for certain anyway, can't justify the extra £100 for the i7

I'm going to get new ones but not including that into the build, will have a look at those, thanks.

I don't really know what i'm looking for but is there anything there i should spend a little more on or not? will it run comfortably? Need more opinions please, no offence to greboth

And what about dvd drives, sound cards etc??

Ok so my Dell is pretty much on it's last legs and im going to try and build a PC myself, i do want to be able to run games on full graphics without a struggle and alot of memory, i don't really need it for that much but it would nice to be in a position where i can throws things at it if i had too if that makes sense? Like a fast road car i suppose.

I set about looking at things on ebuyer but theres really too much choice and i really don't know if i'd be spending too much on things that won't have an effect from what i use.

So far i've found the case i want though i probably will change my mind :\ http://www.ebuyer.com/product/240814 unless someone can come up with a case that looks just as good but with a cheaper price

That's about it really budget is around £800, will be buying all of it gradually so want to get a list of components together.

Help me please

spdo db?

I think it says prototype under VP11 or something, someone on pistonheads had some pictures of ones he spotted.

passwurd??

Anyone setting up a session? :P

Just tried my first race in the williams, what a mess, at the start i got a good start guy infront brakes, i brake 1 car dives down the inside over the dirt, then someone on the outside decided to clip my wheel on the way past, ruined the car, spent 2 mins in the pits, get back out guy makes a mistake and i get his slipstream up to the corkscrew and brake pretty late in the corkscrew on the outside, he divebombs then goes spinning everywhere through the corkscrew and i just avoided him.

Next lap going up to the corkscrew again someone made a mistake and i was closing in someone span at the top of the corkscrew infront of us so we slowed down and just as we're passing the guy infront manages to spin with his front wing touching the other guys rear wing so i have a blocked path and nowhere to go!!!!

Not impressed at all... Demo has better standards than this.
