ive got a dell atm and they r ok, but i want amd and they don't have it. there r loads of horror stories with mesh and overclockers uk. not sure about evesham, whispercomputers, wired2fire but they seem alright. of course i would want an alienware, but atm there might b delays for their psu which could mean a total delay of 52 days!!!

good places 2 buy new pc's
i know its prob better 2 build ur own pc's these days, i could build it ok but then i bet i would f*ck up when i gotta configure bios/installing software
well n e way which gd companies do u know 2 get pc's from, just incase i gotta buy 1 i want a reliable 1.

I was gonna suggest overclockers....
tbh, build one yourself... How can you rely on somethig someone else did
As long as you dont get nothing too fancy, you should be alright.
Don't bother with the new 64bit Intel... not worth it atm. (64 AMD is fine, although I prefer pentiums).
Get a good Asus mobo, good gfx card (I prefer Nvidia persnally), 1gb+ Ram (DDR400, unless you want the newer more expensive version
)... and a 350 or 400W PSU 
Leave the bios alone and just install all the mobo drivers. (only configure stuff that HAS to be changed).
Do not overclock anything (at least until you have a working PC).
And all should be fine tbh.
