Finally i'm getting a new pc my dad has a mate at work who buys the parts cheap from some place in southend i think then puts them together and sells them and very cheap too the pc i have at the moment is very old and the spec is crap here it is :
processor:233mhz
harddrive 3gb
graphics card none
Memory:155
and its only good for the internet which is all my family use the computer for anyway and microsoft word etc i have quite a few games like cossacks / diablo etc but can't play them because of the limited harddrive space anyway getting back to the point
My dads mate builds pcs and i have a example of how cheap he sells them for:
proccesor:1000mhz
hardrive:40gb
graphics card:32mb
Memory:256
= £150
now that is cheap but my dad is thinking of buying one from him but my dad is only thinking of getting ^ that one which is deffently a step up from the one we have now and i can play all my games that i own but i would like to play games like:
Neverwinter Nights
Dungeon siege
Delta force land warrior
BattleFeild 1942
So my dad said he'l have to found out more and if i write down a spec he'l find the price so i want a pc powerful enough for the games above battlefield 1942 may be out of the question but these are my questions
Do you think a 1000mhz is good enough or try get a better one thats all i worried about the 40gb hardrive is fine by me and the graphics card i can always update later its just the processor
any help appreicated

That's a top PC, better than mine, AND WHAT A BARGAIN!! The graphics should be out-dated soon though, and they cost quite a bit, but not for you, I'd gather. 40GB is fine, 256 MB RAM is cool, 100 MhZ should be OK, more than mine, but a 32MB graphics card isn't amazing. Then again, who am I to say.
>proccesor:1000mhz
That'll do you for a couple of months at least, but you're going to struggle with a processor that size later in the year.
>hardrive:40gb
A reasonable sized HD, though you could probably push to get a bigger one, 60 or 80GB
>graphics card:32mb
It'll be alright for a few of the old games, but if you're thinking about playing some of this years releases, then to you'll need something a bit more powerful to get you're games to run at full detail.
>Memory:256
Hmmm, it'll do, but you may be better stretching to 512.
>= £150
Nice enough price, but I'd have to say the system specs here aren't that impressive. From what I've seen here, it looks like this computer could already be outdated, and as for playing the latest games, well you may be able to, just don't expect them to look as good as any screenshots you may have seen.
If you want a decent, top of the range computer, you're going to have to be prepared to pay a little bit more.

Thx for the replys just what i thought really oh well around july i'll be getting a apprenticship then i can save up for a proper gaming pc :)
o.O
It'll take alot more to get a 'gaming' PC ... to play Battlefield smoothly
It should play the others in the list fine.... i have to pay at least 900 quid for mine... im just gonna try and get a job.. and hopefully get one for my 18th next month :o

Ahhh, the benifits of having a job and you're own money. That's why I could spend £700 of my own dosh on a new computer, even though I don't really like spending such large amounts. Still, it'll be worth it in the end.
Yea maybe......
