i'm sure it's a one off and they have been very good in the past, but i'll be taking my purchases a bit more seriously, rather than doing a one stop at novatech. they do do a good 2 year carepack though, and they came and picked it up for free.
maybe any publicity is good publicity. perhaps i shouldn't have opened my mouth
Overclocks is not cheap, but generally does quality stuff. CCL is good value.

www.dabs.co.uk (or .com, maybe?)

Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but cheap
www.ebuyer.co.uk
www.novatech.co.uk
never tried this site but it looks cheap enough - www.advancetec.co.uk
For everything else, there's www.amazon.co.uk
I've got a mate that swears by eclipse computers - http://www.eclipse-computers.com/ - but haven't used them myself
another I've never used:
http://www.aria.co.uk/

And regards to what i want, i dont know:sour: I've already got all the things on the way to "spice" up the Games computer but i dont know what else really....
Did you want to play games?
get something like this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=150992&source=Froogle
The 6200 isn't really a card for gamers, more a budget solution for DVD playback etc.
6600 will make you happy
Review
The GFX Card is for the one i bought
That one also has a price and why do i want 2 DVI Ports?:razz:
P.S - Im Using Ebuyer for This List :P
The 6200 is like the old 5200, utter shite. I had one myself.
Well Half Life 2 isn't the most demanding of games on everything maxed out so if that's all you are going to play on then don't upgrade. If you want to play on anything recent then you need a decent card, it's that simple. Cheaping out on PC components doesn't get you anywhere.. If you want something half decent you need a 6600GT. Or a 7600 if they are the same price.
Hmm you do have a point, but the current games that i only play
Are Valve games i.e HL2 And It was moaning about my PC So ill upgrade but the GFX Card Post a link and ill see about it But...
Why were there 2 DVI Ports on the other one
Does that mean i have 2 screens? If so i would prefer a DVI And a standard Screen ports because i dont have 2 DVI Things
P.S And Sims 2

But is it possible to get it from ebuyer? Thats where most of the stuff is coming from
I've got a 7300. How good is that? Not that I really care, I don't play games. But it's just that it seems to be in your price range. It's got 256MB of RAM too.
Might help if you want to compare different cards.
Hm okay ill go with the http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...source=Froogle
Means nothing to me really
You need to start learning about components you are buying and how good they perform. Read some reviews etc and get a feel of what's currently on the market. Buying PC components blind these days is not a good idea.

EEEK!!! Then what one is that? im only looking at the picture and what it says in breif detail because i've always used ones that have a lil slot in the card and connect to the Highest Port - So i wont be able to use the ones i use?
The ones with a small slot in them and connect to the highest Port on the mobo?
