Yes... what are you asking? What's the budget, what are they going to use it for?

Yep looks like you have a good selection but you might be able to have a i5 option around the £800 mark for another high system.

 

[Phil2008]

limet is 800 so Ive put a few builds up to 800 and a tad over... there using it for games and browsing the net and when I say gaming, I dont think their big gamers, but not sure, the guy says he plays online gaming. edit: Oh yeh at the mo, they have a p4 3.2ghz, 2gb mem and a 6800gt card

Spec me a i5 system, then I can add that as "very high end"?

 

[Phil2008]

Also how much to you guys charge for building and setting up? I said £70, but is that a tad too much??

I do it for free lol think im missing a trick here! To me its a passion not a pound sign lol

I5 rig
Slightly over your £820 high end rig
Added 2 fans for the case as its not the biggest case in the world and they would be handy to expel that hot air!
Better graphics card, the 4890, although its out of stock at the moment
Slightly larger PSU too

The i5 750 is benching very well accross a variety of games and general synthetic benchmarks and will clock to around 3.5-3.8ghz... or so i read.

You could reduce it to £825 by dropping the fans from the list but i would keep them to help with the case cooling.

Thanks hybridx, the only thing Im a tad wrorried about, if I use a diff cpu cooler then the stock. How can I be sure the memory wont be in the way of the cpu cooler, on this and my spec of systems??

 

[Zenduri]

Theres no surefire way i guess unless you find someone with the same cooler and motherboard.

There are tricks to get around these problems though.

9/10 its the fan on the cooler that catches on the first memory slot so theres a few options:

1) rotate the cpu cooler+fan 180degrees so the fans on the other side facing the rear of the case, but this blows air towards the front of the case and the memory.
2) If the fan detaches easy then remount it back to front at the back side of the cooler nearest the rear of the case so that its sucking air through the cooler rather than blowing through it.


that coolers 100mm wide i think itll be fine on that Mobo

Isnt the Phenom II 955 better than the Q9550? And also the Phenom II 965 is only £10 more than the 955
