Nile Ranger #30 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I am looking to get a new computer for FM10 as my old one has broken. I was wondering if this computer would be any good - Acer Computer I would be looking to have Championship and Premiership selected as well as Seria A, La Liga and possibly Ligue 1, Bundesliga and maybe Dutch/Portuguese League and would like to play without long pauses for loading and with it flowing properly. If not what computers could I get that would perform well around the same price? I have looked at this one - Advent and this Dell Or should I go for a refurbished one such as - Acer 2 Thanks for your time guys and I am grateful to have you geniuses here to help Can't wait to get my computer and copy of FM and try and get newcastle back to where they deserve to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie543 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 hmm might be a push to get anything half decent and how good are you with computer for example could you build 1 your self as you would get more for your money if you did this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The ones from pc world are just base units (no monitor) so you'd have to add the cost of a monitor on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie543 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 ok found something but will need a better graphics card and it over your budget i recon if you have £400 could get something good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nile Ranger #30 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have a monitor. Does that make any of the base units worth getting? Could anyone help me build one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nile Ranger #30 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 If I were to just want to do the top leagues in say England,Spain and Italy would that make any difference to what specifications I would need and be able to to save much money? I am really wanting to do it for around the 350 mark. Anyone up for designing me a computer on one of the websites. Please? Sorry, I am truely useless with computer specs.

What is the best website to design a computer on? And can someone please offer some assistance as I do not have any knowledge on computers, I would probably like a graphics card that is external and good then if thats the case. Providing its not bundles and bundles more expensive? Thanks guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true or is it just a little bit bad? Thanks again and thanks for the reccomendation I am thinking about that one Jamie Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie543 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Windows 7 should be fine i didnt even find Windows Vista that bad. The thing with Vista was if your pc was crap it ran like crap all the pcs i have used Vista on have been fine and Windows 7 should be even better as its a tuned up version of Vista Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I heard that Windows 7 is even worse than Vista and it would be much better to simply buy an XP? Is this true or is it just a little bit bad?Thanks again and thanks for the reccomendation I am thinking about that one Jamie Cheers. Is this another episode of "I heard this OS is rubbish, so I will tell 10 people I know that it is rubbish so they think I know lots about this OS" I really hope not, Vista under service pack 2 is a very good OS, better than XP for more advanced users! Windows 7 will be good after a few service packs but like FM10 it takes a few patches to get it right. XP has its plus sides, but its showing its age now. 7 is a good way to go to revitalise a slow aging laptop or desktop, anything quad core and better with decent ram on vista is worth keeping! As long as its running smooth, mainly because Vista has had time to bed in and most people wont use half the things that windows 7 brings, like any well marketed product it has showy gimmiks to attact sales, those things I turn off so it looks like windows 95 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmark Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Are there are any small independent computer shops near you? You can often get better deals than PC World (even the 'on sale' stuff) and they're flexible in building one with the right sort of specification for your needs. Alternatively, I found last year (buying one at about your budget for someone else) that Tesco Direct actually had a much better deal on a nice spec than PC World did. If all else fails, knock about £50-£70 off of your budget, buy the best spec you can (CPU, RAM, HD in that order) and then spend the remainder on a graphics card.

nine_iron Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If you are building a PC for FM think about a quad core barebones systems, if you can rescue anything from an old desktop for a new one then do (like monitor, HDD, keyboard, mouse). Just add cheap other components and you will be whizzing through! Just add a cheap graphics card, all you need is an ATI card from about 3 gens ago, the x1000 series. I also reccomend finding someone local, usually very good prices and you can pop in and see if its all going well! Also someone here might be able to share some old spare parts? No? Stingy ppl!
