Hey all, I was wondering if someone could assist me, Several months ago my MoBo died on me so I decided to look for a replacement, wasn't having much luck so decided to sell my CPU on Ebay and... I now have a dead CPU & MoBO. I'm predominatly looking to just game on this machine and play...

Wow, thank you for all the assistance. I think from reading over what you guys have said the best options is probably to go for a refurbished system and update it with an SSD. Really appreciate the assistance, not sure why he wanted a quad core etc as you said. I think for most office work...

Hi all, A friend of mine has asked for assistance building an office computer. He has roughly £3-350 to spend. He roughly wants i5, 16gb Ram and 1TB HDD. I put together a quick idea of something but I found that the DDR4 2133 was ridiculous expensive and wasn't sure if there was any other...

Thanks dude, yeah... done all of the above. I might try grabbing a BIOS from ebay and try fitting it. I can't see any MOBo's that aren't ridiculously inflated. There are a few Micro ATX ones that aren't to bad around £40 might do me for now until I can afford to upgrade the lot... Seems kinda...

I have also tried...

Hi, I think my CPU has finally had it, computer now takes between 20-30 mins to boot up. Normally keeps booting for 3-5 seconds then resets over and over untill it finally boots. (Pretty sure it's the CPU) Anyhow, I'm looking to upgrade, ideally I only want to spend out for a CPU but if Its...

Hey, It's predominately gaming. I'm not playing anything to intensive at the moment though. WOW, League some indie games that are mostly 2D etc... few action adventures.

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my PC soon as I believe my CPU is on it's way out... essentially it turns off and on repeatedly until eventually it stay on. I've tried a fair few things to fix it and it's apparently an issues that's known with my CPU. I have a between £3-600 to spend on...
