hemmjonny Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The AMD stuff is a little old. I can build you one if you want one but postage will knock the price up a bit or find a local computer shop to build you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERBIE Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I build pc's in me spare time,would be happy to put you a spec together Jellybean I'm a software engineer myself so wondering if something like my PC would be up your street Do you need peripherals or is the 800 just for the rig itself?

Wez Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 thanks Mainly a good spec PC, a nice new screen would be nice but that would kill the budget With an £800 budget I would spend £600 on the PC and £200 on the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HERBIE Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'll have a look here and see what i can put together for you Can you tell me what are the absolute must haves? Do you have a certain graphics card you want for dev purposes for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a certain graphics card you want for dev purposes for example? Performance based , so I reckon Ram and chipset plus harddisk space. Graphics is not important, no gaming or hardcore flash required. developing business apps for example credit card transaction service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Whoever says AMD over Intel needs shot and should not be building PCs Overclockers are rip off merchents. Get one built to spec properly. £800 will buy you a belter. Happy to build you one for a case of beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
