Cabs Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Morning all. I'm going to buy myself a new pc for home but would appreciate any help from people that have possibly made a recent purchase or has spotted one that they would have if they were going to buy a new one. Dont need a screen or mouse etc, and it will mainly be used for the online gaming side of things so will need to run rfactor with ease. I been looking at some, but the more i look the more I get lost and confused No more than £500 really, or 'er indors will hit the roof Any help much appreciated, thanks Cabs.

Lee Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 You able to put on your own operatign system on???? Or would you want windows 7 on it? (At this point anyone who uses windows 7 for heat and rfactor should say please if they have any problems) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabs Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Probably easier if it 'ready to go' Lee, but not essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleLeech774 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 there are plenty on ebay mate, which would run rfactor wit ease.

LittleLeech774 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) PC-1 PC-2 Pc-3 There are a couple of links to some computers that would run rFactor and within your price range, i just typed in gaming pc on ebay and a load came up, i would say PC-1 is the best for the price of it. if you want to look for your self you should be looking and something along these specs: Between 2GB or 4GB of RAM Between 2.0GHz or 4.0GHz between 250GB or 400GB Harddrive Graphics card: anywhere between Nvidia 8600 to a 9800GT or a ATI Radeon HD 4350 I think thats all, but im sure someone else will corrrect me if its wrong as im not 100% but im pretty sure lol. Hope this helps. Leech Edited February 11, 2010 by LittleLeech774 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Hard drive size wont matter, all about the speed in my opinion. Decent sticks of matched? 4gb ram 800mhz i think they are normally. Edit, dont buy on ebay. Edited February 11, 2010 by Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch#331 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Keep away from ebay scrap most of it is cheap rubbish, build your own pc from scratch with quality components its a peace of cake to build your own Murf and marten built there first pc's this year its just like building lego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Or, if you dont have the time like i did pay 60 quid for it to be done. Then claimed on the vat through the business so it worked out bout 230 odd cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabs Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Thanks for all the replys lads, much appreciated Never really thought about building my own, mainly because i would not have a clue as to what to buy to put in it. I do like the idea though, would it be too much to ask someone to sort me a list of items i need to build one from scratch and maybe who are reliable people to purchase the items from. Thanks again for any help, Cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch#331 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I mostly always use ocuk i myself have never had a problem with them, any defect parts have quicky been resent out They do pre built machines this is a fairly good one for the price, just needs a cracked install of windows 7 installed http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....444&subcat= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
