All right, here's my full specs what I have planned:

Motherboard: Asus M4N68T-M
CPU: Phenom X4 955 - 4 x 3.20ghz
Memory: 4GB DDR3 1333mhz
Harddrive: 1TB S-ATAII 3.0Gb/s
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 6850 1GB
PSU: 500W Xigmatek (Or the 700 EZcool Tornado)
Optical Drive: 6x Blu-ray.
(Running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit)
Keyboard and Mouse
Wireless internet USB 300Mbps

£569.78

What i'm wanting, is a PC that can run the latest games with ease, it wouldn't bother me too much if it can't run them at max settings, but high would be nice.

If these specs sound all right, then I will stick with them. I'm just trying to avoid going over budget. If these specs would be ideal for my needs, then I'd rather avoid paying any extra money for minor upgrades, and manage with what I got.

That will do the job.

just spec him 2 gb and when he upgrades to win 7 he can buy more ram and it probably will be even cheaper by then

duh!

telling someone to get 2GB of ram for a gaming system when everyone in the thread agrees with me and says its madness at the price of 4GB kits, and also potentially filling up all the ram slots on a motherboard, quote taken from here.

That was a difference of opinion! plus some of the poster took my side

so I wasnt wrong he simply didnt need 4GB and the money he would have saved £20 or so he could have bought a game or two for the kid he was building it for.

Now what do you think would have made the kid happier 2 extra games or 2 extra GB of RAM which he doesnt know what it is and cant use anyway.

Name one person in that thread that agrees with you!!!!

FAIL AGAIN.

32bit operating systems can address more than 2GB of ram!! you do know this? probably not.

He's right you arrogant muppet. 32 bit XP wont address 4gb of ram.

@OP, why must it be intel? AMD have a lot going for them around your budget.

he agrees with me

If you would just be nice and not so aggresive we would not have had this huge debate.

Orcvader · 23 Feb 2011 at 19:59

Please don't bring that argument into this thread please :rolleyes:

It's a nice build OP, how about swapping the USB wireless for a PCI card instead? I find them a lot more reliable.

Hes not agreeing with you, about your getting 2GB ram suggestion is he!!! you really should stop digging holes for yourself.

Not really a debate, your just losing on all fronts.

No, he said a 32bit operating system cant utilise all 4gb of RAM, nothing in his post says or agrees with getting a 2GB ram kit.

Oh and as Orcvader says, dont crap in someones thread!!!

your like a kid, if he disagrees with 4GB then obviously he thinks 2GB

Where does he say this?

where does he say get 2GB?

You are now TROLLING and I have RTM you to the DON's

Just a random thought. The AM3+ mobo's should be around v.soon and everything else spec'd in the OP inc. cpu would fit into one. That would leave the door open for a Bulldozer upg at a later date.
