Hello Irashi,

I tried to find a computer for 200-250 that was custom and couldn't come close to such a goal as skyrim and video editing as to the best of my knowledge would need another 100-150 dollars at least to get there as 200-250 doesnt cover your needs. If you can't get the dough find a recycle place that sells used computer hardware as they can have some nice finds for very little sometimes. I hope that you can find this kind of place as it serves as a great odds and ends store for cables and even monitors.

if you want I can give you the parts I found but it goes over your budget so I don't think it would help if I posted the list.

nice finds sdm sad that lappy is now being offered for another $100

hope this helps unless the tech gods smack me down but idk lol gl haggy

Thanks a lot mate

Netbooks are designed to have long battery life of 6 hours plus and regular laptops average 3 hours if your lucky. The main reason is the major components that are used such as a nice cpu and gpu the battery life goes down alot. With the netbooks its a very small and very power efficient machine as one of those I found for thehaggis had a rated time of 8 hour plus of battery life lol

Well Hawk idk many places for good cheap laptops and if you want better graphics you step into a higher price range as the area your in doesn't really have those kinds of specs your desiring for that amount of money in laptops. However you can easily can get a desktop that can do everything you want but then again you want portability so unless sdm finds an awesome deal somewhere idk. I typically like to buy new components yet those parts have been in production for a year or two ago to save money.

The next best thing I can think of quickly would be this guy

fyi just checked what 600 pounds is in dollars and it is $947.69 so this is something you could acquire but i think shipping might be a bit much. I'll look for English retailers for this model hopefully not out of your price range.

Is the board being a lower mhz than the RAM is rated for a bad thing? What's the problem with that?

(Thanks for offering opinion )

Edit: Also, could I not overclock it to run at 1600 or am I imagining things? This is my first time building my own computer from scratch. Sorry to sound like a noob.
