    Hi guys,

    I was wondering what computers you are all using.

    The reason I ask is because I am looking to invest some money into a computer (I will build it myself if I need to).

    I currently have a laptop that is awesome for work but sucks absolute balls at gaming. I then have my desktop which can play certain games OK but still sucks balls.

    I am looking for some info, I can build PC's but I suck at choosing the right parts.

    I want serious answers and not some tit-for-tat bollox from those who don't wish to help.

    Thanks guys.

    Yeah, I understand what to get but it's just I don't know the difference between them, my knowledge is on software, fixing computers and building them (i.e. putting the parts in)

    My knowledge and skills set for buying the products sucks.

    Why don't you read what I said. I am willing to build one I just don't know what parts to buy. I need to find a decent Graphics Card and processor, this will enable me to buy a motherboard that and power supply that works well.
