Hi guys I want to put together a custom rig, on a budget, for about £400. Because of where I live shipping surcharges are woeful, so me and a friend are both going to buy off Ebuyer and split the costs, so bear in mind I will be buying my compenents here. Although most sites are fairly similar.
I don't need a case, monitor or DVDRW as I already have them and decided to go with them. I want something that is going to be dx10 compatabile but last me maybe... 2 years? Is that possible? I realise it won't be playing maxed out or anything down the line, but assuming it is definately playable I am not fussed about that. So far I have this (speced a month ago) , and I don't think its that great lol:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (2GHz) Socket AM2 L2 1MB 2x512KB
Asustek M2V AM2 VIAK8T890 Sound, Gigalan And USB 2.0 2000MHz FSB SATA ATX
Kingston 2GB KIT (2X1GB) DDR2 667MHz/PC2-5300 CL5 Non Ecc 1.8V
MSI 8600GTS 256MB Overclocked version DVI HDTV HDCP PCI-E
Maxtor STM3250820AS 250GB 7200RPM SATAII 8MB Cache
Casecom 500W PSU 12cm Fan 20+4 pin P4 PSU
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic x32Bit OEM
I am particularly hairy in the field of graphics cards. The site I used is Ebuyer - Cheap Computers, Laptops, Digital Cameras, TVs & more!.
Any help is really appreciated
