Hi guys I’m new to this forum and I’m looking for some advice please. I hope that in the next few days santa will bring me some xmas money and i was looking into buying a new PC which im gonna use for gaming. This is where i need help because i have around £600 to spend and i would like a full system. Ive been looking at a few custom built pc companies which i have seen in different PC mags and there are a couple that have caught my eye but i dont know which to go for. They are...

thepcogroup
www.thepcogroup.co.uk

They were helpful on the phone and the prices seem to be very good but i need to know if im getting good value for my money.

ultravioletmachines
www.ultravioletmachines.com

They have nice looking PCs but they are slightly expensive. Does anyone think i should pay extra for a system from these guys?

i have also seen companies like arbico, pc specialist and cyberpower but some of the prices are silly ( some are good ) but a lot of the systems that i have put together on these sites dont really tell me what brand components i would get. I think if im honest im gonna go with one of the two i have listed but i would like to know everyones thoughts and suggestions please.

I can certainly let you know what brands we use if you had a system in mind.

£600 for a full system does limit options as you need a monitor etc. Unless you have a monitor you can use?

I was looking at you guys you have nice adverts in the mags but to be honest your site has a lot of stuff on there and i can see it been quite complicated for a newbie...but! saying that i do like your systems im gonna have a go with your system builders and see what i can come up with thanks for the reply.

Do you need an OS with the configuration?
