PC Build, is "Hardwareversand" a reliable site ?

mk94

Hello, I will soon be ordering my first gaming PC and I have a budget of a little under 700 euro (30 euro will be allocated towards delivery and 20 for them to build it), I'm just wondering, what's the best possible gaming computer you can get for this sort of money of Hardwareversand? It's understandable that I'm a bit nervous since it's my first buy and I'm buying from a foreign company. All information, experiences and also PC Builds for the aforementioned budget would be really appreciated, I will need a monitor also, I have been quoted a PC build for 641 including 30 euro delivery before but I'm just wondering it this is the best possible price? I want to be able to run any game smoothly and normally, I don't want a super computer, I just want one that will do the job but won't be laggy and make me regret purchasing it.. thanks alot!

Never had any problems with them apart from the odd RMA. Customer service can be a bit slow by email, but if you call them up and ask for an english speaking rep they are great.

Whats the build you were quoted? You should post it here so we can have a look over it.

i take it you just copied a post from a few months back?
because te HDD is now almost 3 times the price thanks to the hdd shortage and alot of that stuff have been discontinued or out of stock

mk94

ye ...:( ah well, back to the drawing board

IrishMetalhead

Heres a more up to date build, smaller HDD and it does cost slightly more but because of the hdd shortage theres not alot we can do about that =/:

that's great! I have to buy windows 7 also though.. but it's right around my price bracket, I'll be most likely ordering in 2 weeks time, would you say they would have more stock in for other components in that space of time ? also how are they to deal with? thanks

IrishMetalhead

don't think you'd need wait for any stock to get back in because everything i posted there is as good as it's gonna get.
i've dealt with them before for clients and myself and if something does go wrong (which rarely happens) there very easy to deal with just aslong as you give them a phone call rather then sending them and e-mail and they'll get right on it for you straight away

mk94

everytime I go to build my PC parts are missing when I go by your list even though they are in stock :L it's verrrrry annoying

Opinicus

You have to 'notice basket' to store it.

mk94

Thanks for the reply, It's not actually that problem I have though. When I go to pick my graphics card and add it to my pc I then move on to the next section for eg the power supply and the option I want to choose won't be there even though it's in stock.. there's no way around it, it seems.. I'll keep trying though

mk94

ps do I need a card reader ? or is everything in the mock build above all I need? thanks!

mk94

sound card etc, are they all needed or do you get one ?

partyatmygaff

Only if you're going to need to use a memory card reader... Fairly obvious I would have thought

mk94

hey guys, if i add all parts into basket and include 20 euro build service will they built it for me or do i need to use that configurator thing ?

Kells...

They build it for you.

mk94

how do i post a table with the components and prices like metalhead did before? I want to get final confirmation that what I'm buying is good

Monotype

It's Fluffy's script.

1. Copy this
2. Go to your basket
3. Paste into the address bar and go/enter
4. Window opens up, copy the contents and paste into your post
