Building a computer, need help!!

I am a total noob when it comes to building computer. When it comes to software and working with computers, im pretty good, but building them.... ive never tried before so i hope it all goes well for me.

I will first explain the situation to you guys.

Englands economy sucks at the moment, and i want to start building computers to sell them in the local area as well as Ebay. I am a little stuck with being able to find a website that i can buy computer parts from so that i am able to build them, and also make a profit. I know in this day and age, making a profit is hard, but i really want to do it, computers are the one thing i can actually get along with in life, so i really want to make a shot at buliding and selling them.

I wish we had a new egg in England lol. I am totally stuck for sites, i know any of you who actually do this, may want to keep your sites discreet, but trust me, i will not give anything away if i get given a site that you want to remain hidden, so PM me if it is like that, otherwise make a post below.

I did find one potenital site that i may be able to use, and i tried to make a computer from total noob knowlage

Here it is:

Video Card


MotherBoard + CPU

RAM

Hard Disk Drive


Case + Power Supply

DVDRW

Can you tell me if the above items are woth it, as well as importing them to England. Is it all good enough and is the power supply big enough, can you reccoment anything different, is there a better and cheaper reliable site?

Please tell me anything you can, feel free to PM me, thank you all so much for reading.



- David

Tom has a little shameless behaviour in the past
My advice would be don't do it.

You often get cumputers that wont start after ebing built from scratch and pinpointing the faulty component is always a pain, then you have to offer a 12-month warranty on any machine you sell, which could end up being expensive in the future.

I use CPC, most things are a bit more expensive than usual, but good customer service, next day delivery, and its a localish company....

Computer building

I recently built mine using

cclonline.com
aria.co.uk
watercoolinguk.co.uk

both have hundreds of parts in all areas of computing ccl would be the better of the three
watercoolinguk is more about styling you're pc lights and of course water cooling it but it has some parts to finish you're computer of
