I'm afraid if you're after a decent > 3GHz P4 setup, you'll be looking at a little bit more than £300.Jamez wrote:My budget for a new system is £300, but I am willing to go to up to £400 if need be. I know £300 doesn't sound much, but I don't have money to burn.
The trouble with the site you've mentioned in your first post is that all the components seem to be generic and unbranded (hence the low price), which hardly screams high quality. This is especially true on stuff like RAM, motherboards and PSUs. If I were you I'd email them, stating the setup you're after, and ask the brand names of the components before you order (if you do decide to go with them).
The cheapest I can find on a preliminary look for a 3GHz Prescott is > £100; throw in a decent motherboard, graphics/sound card and hard disc and you've passed £300 already.
The system you've got at the moment sounds decent enough; isn't it possible for it to last just another few months until you can save up a bit more?
