Strum,

As any PC build can be very much personalised and according to budget, giving someone advice is going to be 'biased' on personal experience and extremely variable.

When I bought my first PC, I spent time first, reading PC magazines, looking at the adverts and getting used to the terms etc. Then I made a choice. This was in the days when most PC's were only bought mail-order!

This web site is all about building PC's and there are forums etc. Be a good place to read up first, then ask specific questions when a plan has been made.

Do you mean my signature? If you do, I'll change mine if you change yours.

Plenty others to choose from:

Hi Strum,

Which particular smiley did you want to replace the :-) with?   (Try to keep the replacement smiley around the same size as the others)...?

there u go  :)
