I know there are many sites but if someone could recommend one perhaps they have dealt with or someone they know has used one with good results so I can check them out

Thank's :confused:

To be honest i cant really help here as i build them all myself as thats what i know to do and to be as a job...

 

I have had no dealings with these internet custom built computer websites but my only guess is that they labour of building it will not be cheap so then the price would be alot more expensive.

shhhhh hold up...

Wait...

Wait...

No! Wait for it..

 

 

 

 

Alienware! XD

 

 

 

 

no No NO NO!!!

 

Do NOT touch alienwares, they are overpriced pieces of... well you know.

 

 

Mate, this time 6 months ago I didn't know what anything inside the actual computer did, and its quite easy to pick up. If you do want to build your own PC you'll get so much more out of it than if you bought it pre customised, and it'll be alot more powerfull. I'm sure most of the guys on here that have built their own PC's will even help you out if you get confused! Building your own PC is deffinetly the best way to get the most out of it for the least amount of money, you might even have money left over from your budget :)

It's pretty simple and straight forward building your own computer. And with that budget, you could get pretty much whatever you want. I'll put my suggestions/recommendations forward tomorrow if you want.

 

That would be very helpful I am looking at an i7 system with an NVIDIA card

Thanks’:excited:

I believe Mistermojo got his from these people and it didnt cope too well... They had it back for well over a month just for a faulty hard drive!!

 

Mesh computers are indeed very good, bear in mind the Hard Drive I got with my PC was some budget piece of rubbish which you probably won't get with the newer Mesh models (got mine a couple of years ago).

 

Basically the HDD went after a few months and it took them a while to sort it out, mainly thanks to the poor customer support, basically the bloke on the other end of the phone didn't have a clue what he was on about, so don't let that reflect on the company.

 

I'd recommend Mesh, but as other people have said building your own PC would be a tad cheaper...but with your budget, does that really matter? :lol:

Here's my suggestion as promised. :p It's a little over £1200 at £1220 but shopping around at other websites for the same components will save you a bit of money if you were to use this build.

 

Motherbaord - Asus P6T

CPU - Intel i7 930 2.8GHz

CPU Cooler - Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme (Very good for the price, I used one in a recent build)

RAM - 3x2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600

Case - CoolerMaster HAF 932

Graphics Card - 2x Gigabyte GTX460 1GB

Storage HDD - Samsung F1 1TB

Operating System SSD - Kingston V 64GB

PSU - OCZ GamesXtreme 850W

DVD Drive - Samsung TS

 

After a quick look, that's what I'd build.

 

I haven't included a Monitor or OS as it looks like you already have them. Same goes for speaker card and maybe the HDD. Although a 1TB is included in the above list.

 

The GTX460 1GB is a fantastic card for the price and 2 of them in SLI beat a single GTX 480. Will have o problem playing all of the latest game on maximum settings at a high res. My single GTX 460 1GB can max Crysis Warhead easily.

 

Hope I've been helpful. :p
