New PC on the horizon!
- Thread starter Cookeh
- Start date
Mhmm, if I do that though I reckon I'll end up leaving it at stock for a while before buying a cooler.
HD5850 was my plan - shame I couldn't grab one on pre-order
Phenom 955be are nice aren't they
Argghhhh, this will require some serious budgeting then!
ATM, build is speccing up like this:
Phenom II X4 955BE ~ £113
Foxconn A7DA-S ~ £55
4GB Geil 1600MHz CL9 ~ £34 (already purchased)
MSI HD5850 Twin FrozR ~ £144.98
Total = ~£345.
Don't ask for competitor links!
Especially as this is £60 over what I originally wanted to spend!

Worse than a HD5850 and can't be SLId in my mobo
makes upgrades down the line more expensive Worth keeping in mind though! MM is always an option I suppose
you would love my motherboard if crossfire was your thing
Which is it?
And only if its a fair bit cheaper than the Foxconn
!Also, you have mail aswell xD

That will have to come in later
Outside my budget atm 
id take a phenom over an athlon any day, had both myself, got shot of the athlon after a week due to it being worse than an intel e8200 dual core even overclocked at 3.75ghz. for the small outlay over an athlon its a big jump in gaming performance 
Woo, guess what arrived today? Thanks again for the speedy delivery OcUK!
And I thought I'd treat you to a blast from the past, with a pic of my current rig (any tips on improving cable management will be nice for the new build - current management isn't bad at all, if I do say so myself) - Enjoy!
