My PC Gaming Rig Project

Where do i start ?

That was the first question as i have no knowledge of what processors, graphics cards, motherboards would be the best to get for a gaming machine. So i decided to do a search for "build your own gaming rig" and stumbled across 3Dguru.com.

I used the forums there to ask about where to start and was given some advice by a very friendly and helpful member there by the name of "kylzer" thanks m8.

He gave me two systems that i could build on a budget of under £400 one AMD and one Intel, I have chosen to go for the AMD as the advice was that its a much more powerful system.

And i can save some money as i could just use the DVD drive from my old system.

The power supply is 400watt and i read that the graphics card recommends a 550watt. So when the time comes to buy the power supply i will be looking at something differant from the list, will update it then.

I was really exicted when my first part was delivered today :) I had enough money from last months earnings to buy the graphics card.

And what a beast it is, the last card i ever brought was the radeon x800 and at that time it was the bee knees, it had its own fan and everything :)

This card is bloody massive i hope it doesn`t make too much noise as the fan looks like a propellor! Can`t wait to get this thing built now!!!!

I know the photos not great but nor is my camera will update it when i can borrow one.

When i buy new parts they will be added under this section

If you have another spare $1 or so, this project would get finished alot faster ;) I know you thought i was joking before.

I`m so deprarate to get this project done that i`m willing to sell one of my tattoo websites. I started this website in october 2008 and i get around 45,000 uniques per month. I`m not making alot of money from this site as i` don`t really know how to monetize it. I makes around $20 to $40 a month from some affiliate links and adsense.

But for someone who knows what there doing i`m sure could make a great deal of cash.

I want £500 for a quick sale, have advertised for alot more on other sites.

Heres the site :
