Maybe there`s something similar in your city, i`ve build my sys on my own, with self choosen parts, the local hardware store where i bought it, gave me a guarantee to switch parts if they wouldn`t have worked together, since theres the possibility, some parts don`t like each other.
But what i want to say is, small hardware stores are mostly way cheaper compaired to the big one`s selling rdy to go computer.
Just have a look if there`s one near you, they should be able to help you, with components which work fine together, and should even have a service to build it, atleast here in germany its that way, even with this you re going way cheaper.
Btw, if you have an old computer you don´t need anymore, you might be able to use some components again, like the tower or cd/dvd drive, maybe the HDD too.
And for the components go for DDR2, for games should 1 GB enough, 2 is even better, atleast for neocron.. RAM doesn`t need to be the fastest mine is
CL5, f.e. has a slower timing, but was a lot cheaper, works fine that way for all games.
And the question you need to answere: Do you want Intel or AMD ? & for graphics Ati or Nvidia.
Thats important because eighter way you go, there are compatibility lists for the components.
sry for teh bad english, hope its understandable...
€: I`ve just read what Zeninja wrote, mine was exactly around €700, here is my hardware:
Thats the stuff i bought, except the TFT, i am using it since about 5 years..Originally Posted by Asterix
