HEY GUISE IS KING BACC HERE AND I HAVE AN ENQUIRY DOODZ.

So I'm thinking of buying a new computer in many months time as my laptop is quickly degrading but my job doesn't pay an awful lot.

Some of you may have received a Skype message from me asking for you PC specs, build or buy, cost and all that but the answers I have received have been...unsatisfactory :(

What I really want is a number of people to essentially do the work for me and decide what components I should buy OR whether I should just buy a computer - that is if you know a very cheap and reliable manufacturer.

I could save forever but I'm looking to buy a relatively good PC that can run minecraft on say...Far RD, smooth lighting max and possibly shaders (though I've heard it's extremely demanding). Preferably, I'd like to spend about £600-£800, this should help you decide on the components I need to purchase C:

It wouldn't go amiss for people to post their PC shiieee too, in the format:

Specs:

Processor -
RAM -
Graphics Card -
Motherboard -
Fan -
CPU cooler -

Add any specs I need that I forgot, please :p

Alternatively, if you too are looking in to the prospect of buying a new pee see, what deals you have been able to find that I may be able to consider.

Hopefully I've included enough detail so that people understand fully my intentions.

Ah, links to where I can buy the components.

Many thanks, Isaac :9

I'm assuming you mean graphics card....whichever is worth the money it costs and is more reliable.
I would suggest Nvidia, but that's only because I only use Nvidia and have never tried a AMD.
Anywho, for a graphics card and your budget I would suggest a Geforce GTX 650 or 670. I run a 560 and it runs most games on high settings but a 650 is more power :)

Nvidia for what component?D:
Take into consideration the price of other necessary components..how much do the graphic cards cost?

Suggestion, don't cheap out on the power supply, if that derps up the rest of your hardware could get fried.

Thanks for the assistance! The only problem is that newegg is a US website and so the delivery would cost........a lot. Other websites may not necessarily be as cheap :C

Try Amazon for the UK - it'll likely have the same or cheaper prices.
