Alright Computer nerds ( i know you're out there ) im going to be building a computer, i have some idea of builds, but im not 100% sure what i need. I would like to be playing newer games at medium settings, and be able to run FS9 and/or FSX well with addons. Im able to spend around £600 but will probably be able to go over (about $1000, i think) so i was just wondering what parts i would want and if they are compatable with each other as this will be my first build, as i said i have some experience with Computers, lots of reading and dismantling this one, but i think im finally ready for a build.
Thanks everyone

Where you thinking of getting the bits Luke? I would recomend Scan.
Do you need the whole kit and kaboodle? or is it literally just the computer base unit you want. i.e. do you have keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers.
What operating system do you want to run, do you already have a copy of xp or vista to install? bear in mind that mr gates will want £100 for a version of windows.
You want to get an intel CPU, on your budget you can get a decent core2duo. AMD's are cheaper, but that is because they are despearte to shift inferior cpu's as they are streets behind in the performance battle.
I'll email you a kit list tomorrow when I had a chance to have a look in the morning...
