I have decided to finally take the plunge and buy myself a pc hooray!!! i want it for mainly gaming and surfing purposes but i would also need to use it for graphic design (quark/photoshop) from time to time. i dont want to buy anything "off the shelf" as we all know what a bad idea that can be.
So, i want to buy all the bits and build it myself but i am unsure of what exactly i need to buy so could someone please give me some pointers please?
I have been to www.misco.co.uk and picked out various things i want but im not sure if all the bits will work in harmony with eachother or not. Also i wanted a Barton 2.5 processor so i can clock it up to 3ghz and a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb graphics card but i could not find the processor on this site and the grtaphics card was waaaaaayyy too expensive as i believe they are available for £150 now?
Anyway here is the list i ahve so far, can anyone point out where i am going wrong, where i am going right and anything else i might need please and thankyou muchly.
