I've got one, what speed is the ram? Edit: Get a Ati Radeon 4850 with it, or an Nvidia Geforce 9800gtx+. That intergrated graphics card sucks. My specs: Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600) Overclocked to 3.0ghz Nvidia Geforce 9800gtx+ 4gb 1066mhz ram Asus Striker II Motherboard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andoz2000 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 ah right thanks, can i buy graphic cards separatly and put it in the computer? Did you buy your computer whole or did you build it yourself? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football_Manager08 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 ah right thanks, can i buy graphic cards separatly and put it in the computer? Did you buy your computer whole or did you build it yourself? thanks I built it myself, and yes you can buy a graphics card seperately. Do not pay over £275 excluding the monitor and another graphics card for that system. If you do, your getting ripped off badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limited z0 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 You can buy the graphic card itself, and put it in. But make sure it compatiable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His motherboard is a Biostar GF7050v m7, obviously. So he will have one PCI express x16 port. So he will be able to put any graphics card he likes (depending on the PSU watts and rated amps).

andoz2000 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Wow uve really lost me with all those big words but thanks. Seeing as i know nothing about computers will just prob go to PC world or sumthing and get one for about £500. I know that the PC world comps are a bit of a joke to some of the serial gamers but do you reckon they will play FM09 smoothly and quickly? Btw i wish i had the knowledge to build my own computers. I think its something I would be pretty good at. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pcworld are a joke with computers Its a rip off, and they don't give you much for your money. Such as, they sell a computer for £599.99. When i could of built that for the same spec (or better), for around £250. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andoz2000 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Yeh i thought as much, but if you dont know anything about comps you are paying a fair price. How hard is it to build comp from scratch? im good with my hands, (work in the manual trade) and willing to give stuff a go. I suppose once youve done one once then it'll be easier.

People think its very hard, but in my opinion - its not hard at all. All you need is: A - Case - Cd/dvd drive (optional) - Power Supply Unit - Processor - Motherboard - Hard-drive - Ram - Heatsink/fan - Graphics card (optional, as the motherboard could have a intergrated graphics card itself). Takes me about twenty minutes to build a computer, but takes me a bit longer to sort the cables out etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andoz2000 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Great stuff. Im going to look into it now. thanks for your advice m8, its all been very helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football_Manager08 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Great stuff. Im going to look into it now. thanks for your advice m8, its all been very helpful. No problem. I recommend buying all your parts from:- www.ebuyer.com (Remember the processor has to match the motherboard, e.g. intel core 2 quad q6600 has a socket 775. So the motherboard also has to be socket 775). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
