"I'm going to build a PC..."

...with my Uncle, hes very good with Computers and knows how to build them and everything but he needs to know what specs I want my PC to have so I was wondering whether you could give me a list of the things I should have on my PC and if you can, give me the average price.

Thanks alot.

EDIT : I haven't a clue about Computers so i'm hoping to learn something from this.

Do I detect a tinge of sour grapes there?

It also costs the Earth. £300 graphics cards only exist for mugs to buy and push the previous top-of-the-range down to more sensible prices.

Don't skimp on money by buying inferior stuff - only buy the best or you'll be upgrading all the time. High end stuff will last you ages.

I was close to nearly laughing out loud at the title... Then the post loaded up, and you mentioned your uncle...

Moo.

Also, we might need to know what you intend to use this computer for.

How about you give us a budget and we give you ideas? £500 would get you something rather reasonable indeed. £1000 will get you top of the range. Funnily enough, in between will get you in between performance.
