No need for sorry,s.

You could have that IDE HDD as a slave.

I am looking at this brand but it comes in diffrents style cases and diffrent size,s.What size you going to look for and are you looking at a block case or a tower?As this can then give us a clue on wether it will take a new GPU?

What OS sre you thinking of installing?

RAM I would be going for at least 2-4 gig you need decent speeds and game play.1 gig will do nothing for your computer.

Building a computer from scratch can save you cash to.

Thats not going to take a decent size GPU,nice looking though.Or maybe I am wrong?

I would go for a mid range size tower to full size leaves good space for upgrades.

Ebay grrr?lol.

Ok take a look at Amazons website.

Now intel PSU are pritty expencive so you could choose amd DUAL core.A lot of mainboards are compatable with intel and AMD CPUs.

Take a look at my PC specs under my name on what I recently built.

Checkout some of the threads wich others are building.

You can buy a case for £15-£30 or upwards as long as it has decent scope and space inside and gives ample space to add extra fans for cooling.

Try ATX case.

You can get a decent SLI mainboard for maybe £60-£80.

CPU can cost around £80 upwards for dual core.

A lot of Mainboards newer ones take an average of 8-16 gig RAM.

You can get a OCZ stealth extreme 600 watt PSU for about £45 upwards.Or get say 700 watt.

Do not buy cheap on power supply unit or RAM.

If you are sticking with XP 32 BIT this will only register you have 3.25 RAM even though you may have more fitted in there so I would go for a 64 bit OS.
