    I was happy with the performance of my HP. very reliable.

    Dell's are nice, just make sure you max out the RAM and graphics card if you can.

    I just built one....and its awesome...runs so fast.

    go here: http://www.aria.co.uk/

    What should u get........um ...

    Start off with a case... so type in 'silverstone' or 'aurora'..

    Motherboard... Asus P5B or P5k ---dont ask me how i know this
    Graphics: Geforce 8800gts/x... or Radeon x1950
    RAM - 2GB anything...
    HD... Samsung Spinpoint --500gb perhaps (only £60)
    CPU --> e6600.... maybe or something more expesnive...
    obviously u need dvd drive etc... also and Power Supply

    have a look around.

    just msn me if you want..

    You dont hav to build one...you could go with an HP....or for great value i would go for a MESH matrix!!!
