Re: Considering buying this
I'm gonna say DO NOT buy the computer as it has an AMD bulldozer. That piece of crap basically has a huge amount of cores but still gets completely outshined by much earlier intel CPU's with half the number of cores.

Re: Considering buying this
if you want "VERY FAST", AMD is not the way to go. Try setting yourself up with a 2500k build. What's your budget?

Re: Considering buying this
Not to mention that graphics card is very low end and you wouldn't be able to play much higher than medium settings on newer games. Get at least a 6770 or higher which tend to be under 150$ and will play with reasonably high graphics.

Re: Considering buying this
i5 2500k, z68 mobo, radeon 6950 or gtx 560 ti, 8gb RAM, 500w+ PSU,
Everything else is pretty much personal preference. If that's over budget, let me know. I didn't even look anything up but that would be like $550 USD so I figure with all the other parts it would be right around your price range.

I don't know where you're getting your prices from, but from my experience in the UK, computer shops tend to charge abysmal prices, you'll probably be looking at at least £50, maybe even 100. I suggest building it yourself, it's really not that hard, just educated yourself in computer hardware a little bit first (read forums such as overclock or something)

Re: Considering buying this
Eh, standard build as requested. You can swap out the 6870 for a 6770 if you want to save a bit of money (Like £40-50). I put the parts together on ebuyer.com, probably the best site for PC parts in the UK.

Process of elimination basically. There's only one spot for anything, it's like a puzzle. Open up a computer and you'll learn in no time.

True, but some guidance from the manuals and other resources online helps. Also, he has to know about stuff like grounding, even though it seems like common sense.
This is what I used the first time I assembled a computer: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/How_To_...op_PC/Assembly
It was really helpful and I was done in an hour or two.
