Spec me £600

greywolf · 6 May 2007 at 14:10

Looking to spend up to £600, this must include everything except for a case , mouse/keyboard,monitor, and i have already got the watercooling. The system must be good for cpu overclocking.

On another note , i carnt seem to add any items to my shopping cart for sum reason. Any one have any idea how to fix that?

Try resetting your cookies/cache.

greywolf do you play any games? whats going to be the purpose of the system?

If you don't need a PSU it comes in under budget

greywolf · 6 May 2007 at 14:24

Gaming is the purpose of the system and it will be running at 1680x1050

Also just noticed i dont need a nother dvdrw drive , can rob that out my other pc

Then I would consider Will_3rd's spec which is perfect for your budget.

If your running at that res you may want to consider a 640mb 8800.

That ram overclocks well, but not as good as the 2GB Ballistix PC5300, it is more expensive but will clock better. At your budget I would stay with the Giel stuff though.

Yeap can do, save some money on the processor and get a better graphics card.

I wouldn't get a slower CPU than that, it has a 4mb cache compared with the 2mb in the lower models.

Well if greywolf can push up his budget or if he already has a PSU then it would be fine

greywolf · 6 May 2007 at 14:36

Thanks for the quick reply guys , yup i do need a psu , but i dont need the cpu heatsink , got watercooling for that ,and the e6320 does like like the cpu to go for with the 4mb.

I know this is a little over your budget. If you skip the Noctua cooler and then buy it when you can afford it its only £63 over your budget. Its worth the push and that will be a very solid system.

A bit off topic, when are you intending to get your wish list rig?

2 months, spec will be ammended for new hardware.

Yes it was very off topic. :cool:

From these systems specs you have posted here what kind of performance increase can i expect from my old rig of fx55 , 2gb pc3200 , 7800gt 256mb, 80gb 7200rpm, msi neo4-f

Benchmark will be about 3 times more.

8800 is more powerful than 4 7800gt's put together

CPU will clock to 3GHz with ease
