Hey everyone, I have a budget of about £1000 - £1250 for a PC that will be able to produce Media productions and Games, but also survive through Sixth Form and University. I have most of the items, I was helped by a very good friend of mine. Who introduced me to these forums. His name is "D D Danneh".
This is what I have.
OcUK Basket:
And the rest of another website, which Starred when I previewed my post. I'll post the spec instead.
HDD: Western Digital WD1001FALS 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache - OEM Caviar Black - This is £74.18
Firewire port: Plexus High Speed USB2.0 Firewire Combo PCI Card 2 X USB Ports 2 x ports IEEE 1394 - £9.99
Monitor: Samsung B2430H 24" LCD Monitor Wide Full HD 1920x1080 300cd/m2 70000:1 DCR 5ms 3 Years Onsite SWAP Warranty - Gloss Black - £159.99
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 8MB L3 Cache 125W Retail Box Processor - £128.29
GPU: ASUS GT220 1GB GDDR2 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card - £54.99
By my maths, this comes up to £963.27.
Bearing in mind I still need:
Keyboard
Mouse
Headset - (Not a big issue)
W7 OS (x64) - I should be able to get this off a website that sells Software to studets at discount prices.
And the possibility of needing Cables.
I should be able to do this easily, but I am looking for any advice that you may have, I have been told on another forum that this is "Overkill" and I'm getting too much Memory, and that 4GB will be enough. I was tols that I should change the Processor (At the time I had a Hex-Core AMD 2.8GHz Processor) and I don't need as much memory on the GPU. Help, please?
Before I changed it, this is what I had. All off OcUK
This was discribed as "OverKill"
What should I change, and what should I keep?
Thanks,
Nick

. Like I've said before, I have the monitor that I want, and yes, I do use Sony Vegas. That's the main reason I wanted 8GB. My only problem is next year the AM3 Socket becomes un-upgradable, so if I wanted/needed to replace the CPU I would need to change the Motherboard. But other than that I think it will still most likely be the Intel setup, with your Graphics Card.
