The system should cost about £650(~$1200) as I probably wont get that monitor & keyboard with it, but get them somewhere else where I can get exactly what I want, do you think this is a good deal, or can you suggest anything better for my money? thanks.

As long as you build that yourself you can stay cheap with it.
NICE machine !

 

[FFFJamie]

Oh that price includes the build Im really just learning, so am going to sit this one out, though I want to build my next one in a few months but thanks a lot for your opinion

 

[brady]

No problem... Im kinda jealous of your new machine : P
Have fun with that

 

[FFFJamie]

lmao! cheers mate, Im glad I must have made some right choices as no one has said its shit.....yet ¬_¬

 

[PZEROFGH]

9550? intel?

i guess you wont be gaming lol.

anyways looks good. but what are you going to be doing with it

 

[idiotec]

If its using DDR400 RAM that means it is an old ass Intel chipset. Probably not the best way to go...

 

[FFFJamie]

I wont be gaming, its for running graphics, sound, video, animation programmes

I just selected the things from this site

904. from the site

but i think you can do better from a different site or buildling your own

EDIT: ^^ how come this system is using DDR2 and the one you posted is using DDR hmmm

 

[FFFJamie]

ahhh cheers I will check that out. I just kind of came across this site, couldnt find anything much better, and I dont think I can handle my own build yet. I think the reason you got the DDR2 option is because I posted a slightly different link....as before that page you have the option of Intel or AMD, then specific etc etc....
