New PC build

Ciaran988

I was looking into buying a new pc when I stumbled across a few posts of people offering advice on a new build so I taught I would see what they could do for me. I was looking at getting this [url][/url] but if someone could suggest a self build with better spec i would be tempted.

1. What is your budget? Max €750

2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Mainly playing football manager so a graphics cards is not hugely important more processing power

3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No

5. Do you need a monitor? No

6. Do you need any of these peripherals? No

7. Are you willing to try overclocking? No

8. How can you pay? Credit Card

9. When are you purchasing? A month or two

10. If you need help building it, where are you based? I should be okey building it myself.

Thanks for the quick reply. The link to the desktop I was looking at didn't post for some reason. http://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90447411/hp-pavilion-p6-2053de-w7hp64.asp
Could you tell me if it would be better to have a core i7 or a core i3 or is there any real difference?

If you're working with an unlimited budget then an i7 if not you have to balance your components. The difference would not be worth sacrificing the GPU.

My build would be a much more rounded build, and a better buy for less money.

All you need is Windows 7 in the build I posted and you're good to go.

Thanks for the advice. I won't be buying it right now so I may be back in a month or two looking for more advice.
