Hey all, this is my first post since joining and I was really just after some advice
My last PC went bang, and I've had enough of fixing it over and over again, so thought it was time for a new.
The downside - i'm skint. My initial thoughts were to find a machine for about £300 - attempts at this failed miserably, so the new combination I have found is as follows, costing about £450
It's been a while since I bought any computer hardware, and have found plenty of conflicting info on the net, so basically, what i'm after, is a review of the machine i've chosen, whether it's up to scratch, whether it's reasonable for it's money and if i should be choosing something else instead!
My main gaming will be done on World of Warcraft.
Here is the spec:
Motherboard: ASUS SKT-939 A8V-VM S/V/L M-ATX 2000MT/s
CPU: AMD Athlon 64X2 4400+ 2MB SKT939
Memory: 1GB PC3200 DDR 400 RAM
Power Unit: 350W
Hard Drive: 160 GB
Graphics Card: ASUS 256MB Geforce 7600GT Silent PVI-E SLI
( I would rather the overclocked leadtek version or the Xpertvision, but the site i'm buying from only offers the ASUS)
And a DVD RW drive
....This comes to £423 with £34 assembly and delivery charge
Thoughts would be greatly appreciated, and I really cant afford to spend any more cash than this, i'm already way over budget =oP
Thanks guys and gals
