Hi Guys & Gals,

I might be getting some funds to buy a new PC, but have been out of touch with latest prices/specs.

I am looking for a machine able to run at least Crysis.

I have the Windows XP Home Original so don't need that.

Minimum 500GB HDD & 19" LCD monitor.

Pls give me an indication of what I would be looking at either here or by PM. Once I know if I will get the funds, then I will get the final quote.

All parts unassembled, I like [-]breaking[/-] assembling my own PC's.

Jhb Area.

I do not. Don't get the Seagate barracuda ES2 HDD. Thats an enterprise harddrive. Get the normal Desktop one - you get better performance out of it. Unless you're buying a File Server PC that's going to run 25/8/367 and won't be used for normal everyday stuff.
