Hey all,

I posted here recently for new PC components for myself; this time it's for my brother and he's on a tighter budget than me; £600.

Again, using www.scan.co.uk preferably, would someone like to take the challenge of piecing together components to complete the interior of a PC (Including new case) that will play next-gen MMORPG games such as Age of Conan and Warhammer Online reasonably?

Just to reitterate; he has all the peripherals - Mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor. All he needs is a PC case and everything that goes in it; to be honest, he doesn't care about soundcards as on-board is usually good enough these days.

Any and all help appreciated as always; Chris, if you're out there mate?

- Heskey

Does he have any existing things such as a case or hard drive? You could get quite a reasonable pc for 600 but it depends whether you want a nice case, cheap case or no case etc. Does he want any flexibility either?

You could do a fairly decent system for £600.

He's put together a PC basically using the stuff that was recommended to me last month, and added his own case and gfx card choice, totals something like £650, and will work like awesomewink

What graphics card did he go for mate? The NVIDIA 8800 GTS is great value for money at the mo.
Did you get your system sorted out?
