Build it yourself.

 

Make sure it has a good CPU, CPU is what effects HB.

Self built is the best bang for the buck, if you dont know how to build a cpu or someone who

does its not hard to do but a Sony Vio isnt a bad alternative.

 

things to get for helbreath

 

Windows XP (is a must do not get vista)

A good processor, pretty much any of the duel cores will do (do not get the lattest and greatest they are way

over priced and you will never tell the diff.)

Finally a good video card is always nice ( im partial to SLI technology ) and you can get a Asus board and

2) 6 series cards really cheap and w/ that setup you can run WoW full graphics w/ no problems or anything else.

For HB you will want to disable the 3d renderings ect... but dont disable the cards (that will make IE run like poop)

Oh yeah almost forgot dont cheap out on the power supply get the best one you can find and make sure

it has the right adapter plug for your motherboard (if your building your own pc) duel video cards want lots of power. :P

Brev, you live in Melbourne yeah? Go see either Computer Parts Land in Notting Hill (Just off Ferntree Gully Road) or one of the MSY Technologies, theres in in Caulfield and theres one in Mulgrave and a couple in other places.

 

I made my computer buying the parts from those two places for just over 700 bucks and it is pretty dam good. Im pretty sure MSY will build computers for you, CPL might to.

Yeah that was without monitor obviously.

 

I was just looking at one of the websites I named before, they sell systems, pretty decent ones for around the 1000 dollar mark.

 

4 gig ram, 800 gig HDD, 1gb 9600GT Vid Card, Intel Core2Quad and you can buy Windows XP for an extra 160 bucks. Thats about 1000.

 

When I see you in game ill tell you more (I think your banned from forum :) )

one of the best online wholesellers for computer parts.

i forgot the other one.

 

i build my pc w/ monitor for 650$ takes some time to watch for things to go on

sale, and always buy refurbished monitors the price is like 1/2.

then get a sony vaio, most bang for the buck, but shop around.

 

look for a duel core processor, and something w/ good memory.

 

MOST IMPORTANT TO RUN HB GET WINDOWS XP. ;)

Visit those stores i mentioned Brevlin... I would actually visit Computer Parts Land off Ferntree Gully Road because MSY are hopeless, noone in there can speak a word of english. CPL are actually helpful. Tell them you have X amount to spend. For a grand you would pick up a computer that would PWN Helbreath and be capable to run 90% of games.

 

I would offer to come meet you and take you myself but I think you live in Dandenong, I would get stabbed there.
