Thanks everyone for your input. I'll decide tonight on what to purchase. Cheers Luke

Thanks for spending the time looking into it. I do like the £307 spec option tbh, but then the modern tech of the 4670k is tempting. Do you think theres a big real world performance difference between the specs that justifys the extra £70 - 80..? Would you spend the extra? I think i'll only...

Thank you for that stulid. Do you have any suggestions as if its worth spending a little more etc? Are those Gigabyte D3H's the best board for the money?

Hi Chaps, Would someone please help me choose what CPU, Mobo and Ram to get for around £300 max please? I have an good SSD, a decent 750w - 800w PSU etc and an old but reliable Radeon HD4890 which will still do for the moment. Ideally I would like an i5, and possibly a 'k' series as...

I used to work at Digicare here in Telford, they will 'definitely' have this connector and be able to supply you.

Again, many thanks for the replies. I see myself spending closer to £400 now then for the right kit, will be a great upgrade from my E6600!

Thank you for the quick replies guys, really appreciated. Do you think something like this: Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-005-AN Would make a massive difference then over the stock cooler and would be a worthwhile purchase at the...

Hey Guys, I am after a machine I can do CAD/CAS designs and rendering, something that will be ok with the odd game (so can still use my old Radeon HD4890) and will be good value for money. I will certainly like it if I can overclock it also... So, I am thinking these parts: Intel Core...

Check that the ram in the slot's is still in nicely, sometimes in shipping they become dislodged. Worth a shot :)

porridge and a protein shake and a bit of fruit

ok thanks for all the replys intrested in what jigger linked to, might sit back a week or 2 and keep an eye on current prices. sorry for jumping thread had a simular upgrade as you to do

if i had a hdmi cable going into a monitor with speakers built in would i get the sound through the monitor speakers?

blackbat thanks that looks good, have you ever used it befor? as for using a tv would that still have the same possible resolutions and would it be ok for gaming? thanks for the replys so far

hi all, im looking at getting a new monitor, i want at least 24" but i also want to use this for watching tv as well. but i dont want to have to use a tv card in my comp. i know you can get monitors with built in tv tunners but these seem to cost more then a monitor of the same size with...

Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like I will have to continue hunting then on the 'bay. Did think that I could have bought a faster machine than what I will create with this 144 for the money... Oh well :). Bought the sodding thing now... :S Cheers :)

100% Sure it is a Opteron 144 (Socket 940) mate :). The info about my processor is here: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Opteron%20144%20-%20OSA144CEP5AT%20(OSA144ATBOX).html :) Just need to find a mobo to work with it now :(

Hey guys, I have an Opteron 144 (But the 940 pin socket version) and to start off with have bought just 512mb ECC Registered Ram..... Problem is.... I cant find a single socket motherboard that will take this single opteron... I can find a wealth of DUAL socket motherboards intended...

quick question how much better is the x38 then the P45? asking because when i get vista it will most prob be oem and therefore tired to the motherboard so i will want the motherboard to last me a fair wile so if its worth the extra £££ i may consider it

hi all, have a comp with a p5ne sli in it, and a e6400 looking to upgrade to quad and vista soon. but i want to get a new motherboard first i have around 80-90 to spend any ideas about the best board i can get for that sort of money? i will be overclocking with it so thats important and...

i belive this is true x38 boards do not do SLI, i wish they did there have been rumors of driver updates allowing this but im not that sure about it.
