Hi, so i need some advice to build a new pc, its starting to become tricky so im wondering if someone can help.
Budget: £400 or $658 (What i want to spend)
Budget: £500 or $823 (Absolute MAXIMUM!!)
EDIT: ok so this is what i have atm;
cpu:AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 940 Black Edition 3.0GHz (Socket AM2+)
gfx: Asus GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3
psu:OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Ready Modular Power Supply
ram: Corsair Dominator 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 XMS2
Mobo:Asus M4A78 AMD 770 (Socket AM3/AM2+) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
hdd:Western Digital Caviar Green 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache
case:Coolermaster Elite 334 Nvidia Edition Case
cooling:Akasa AK-967 Nero Direct Contact Heatpipe CPU Cooler + artic silver 5 thermal paste
opticalioneer DVR-217FBK 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer LabelFlash ReWriter
That comes to a grand total of £586.78
A few things im worries about, can someone please check if everything is compatable, i have a tendancy to rush things. And most importantly, do you think the after market cooler is worth it??? I hear the cooler the cpu comes with is good enough, im not looking to oc just yet.
Thanks!
So what im looking for;
Cpu: quad core, prefrably intel, i want to overclock, if not then a good amd cpu.
Mobo: not huge bothered as long as it will let me over clock and can accomidate the cpu
Ram:4gb, i was thinking croshair range???
Hdd: 1tb should be enough, maybe segate??
Optical: normal dvd rewriter, cheap nowdays (not blue ray..ps3 is for that)
Soundcard: I really dnt care about a sound card, one with mobo will be fine.
Cooling: unless u can find watercooling for £50, just a normal fan, a good one at that.
Case:antec 1200...or anything cheaper
Graphics: ahhhh here it gets tricky, i want something good, not looking for sli or crossfire, just one gfx. was leaning towards ati because they are cheaper, who knows, but it has to stay in the budget.
Things i have alerady got;
monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse (althought might get g15 keyboard)
Well enjoy, if you can post links to websites that will ship to the uk that will be a treat!
thanks
