Hi!
I have a list of parts that i want to order very soon but just wanted to make sure everything is compatible and if anyone had any suggestions on how to make it better ect.
I have a budget of £300 ($560) including delivery.
I'll be replacing: Case, Motherboard, CPU, Graphics Card
A tought budget you say i agree, but im sure it will be better than my 3.0ghz Intel Celeron with onboard graphics
It will be used for gaming, i'm not expecting amazing gameplay but oviously something to make it playable. I won't be doing any overclocking as i don't know how and dont want to risk damaging components.
Here is my list of current parts.
Motherboard
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Productinfo.aspx?ProductID=14829
-Not to sure why i chose this one, its cheap and has all the features i need, I have an AsRock motherboard in another computer and it has never been any problem.
£38.13 Inc VAT
Processor
http://www.dabs.com/productview.asp...&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=0
-Everyone keeps saying how the conroe's are better than the dual core AMD's so i thought i better go with the flow . A 1.8 is all i can fit into the budget at the moment, as i'm more concerned about a better graphics card.
£124.26 inc vat
Graphics Card
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/7600_Series.html
(BFG 3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-025-BG)
-Looks a good card, has good reviews and seems a good choice for my budget
£88.11 Including VAT
Case
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=14182&GroupID=511
-Is a cheap case but seems it will do everything i need it to.
£22.85 Inc VAT
Case Fans
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=6009&GroupID=358
-Case fan with tempurature control
£2.00 Inc VAT
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Sunbeam_Fans.html
(Antec SmartCool 92mm Thermally Controlled Fan)
-Another fan, however this one is 92mm, again thermally controlled
£3.47 Including VAT
Delivery: £19.00 ($35)
Total (Including Delivery): £298 ($557)
This is the best i have come up with, but will it all work together? And does anyone have any suggestions on how it could be better for the money? Unfortunatley newegg doesnt ship to the UK so i have to buy from alternative sources
