Hi,
my motherboard died last week. I am now in a quandry whether to get a new system or replace the MB, CPU etc. i have a fullsized tower with a 520w psu and 2 newly installed disks so I am leaning towards replacing the mb.

it will be used for office, bit of gaming (race games) and taking work home, visual studio apps (that are heavy on the processor).

can anyone suggest where to look for deals on bundles , or is there somewhere in my locality (leicestershire) that anyone could recommend?

cheers
Rich

Try this. I have just built a system around the Intel i7 with the 4.6GHz over clock. Changed the motherboard and put 16Gb ram instead of the 8Gb. Very helpful and took about a week as they build and test the system to order.

just ordered an i5 bundle off scan (£100 cheaper than the i7) as i need a couple of monitors and maybe a gpu in the future.
