Hi guys and many thanks for a great forum.
I urgently need your help as i need to buy a system by tomorrow. I can only buy from two shops - one is ccl computer (CCL Computers - Awarded Best Online Retailer 2008 for PC, PC Components, Laptops, Notebook, Computer Components, Intel Servers, Hard Drives, PC Memory) or Ebuyer.com (Cheap Laptop, Hard Drives, LCD Monitors, TVs, Televisions, Netbooks and more at Ebuyer.com).
I have a max £400, although i am willing to stretch a few quid higher, but only if the paying more means a huge boost to speed.
I've decided to create a spreadsheet with two choice of system builds - ONE BUDGET SYSTEM & ONE PERFORMANCE SYSTEM. The prices are the latest for the two companies, but pls ignore the column on the far right as that was my way of guessing what i could expect to pay for each part.
Due to CCL not having the same components as Ebuyer, I have instead added what ccl sell that is similar in price/performance.
Could you pls tell me if we could bring the price down further, or change components to get extra performance for my money...i prefer that you use Ebuyer's site.
I have a couple of questions too:-
1. Since i will use a seperate gfx card, can i go for a cheaper motherboard, that is okay for overclocking?
2. I've only gone for 2gb ram. But is there a big difference in DDR2 or DD3? For example is DDR2 going to cause any major overclocking issues at a later date?
Kind Regards
