£300 spec me

Guest2 · 19 Sep 2009 at 20:31

Mate needs machine parts and is looking at spending no more than £300 a system to play FSX and a few other games

Needs

Motherboard
Graphics card
CPU
Ram

Guessing he will also need a Powersupply, his current hard drive(s) will probably be IDE too, will ne need sata ones. Case will be quite a few years old, have motherboards got bigger?

Cheers

In the above spec. Wouldn't it be worth paying a pound or two extra and get a 500gb HDD instead of the 320gb?

Part of the 'This Week Only' offers

Give or take, just trying to keep as close to £300 as possible.

The sammy F1 is a very fast drive.
Not sure about Seagate tbh

thanks. never heard of a AMD Athlon II. Is it better or worse than the intel i range of cpus?

Take it it will be better than a standard x2, like my 939 x2 3800+

Far FAR better that the 939 versions mate.

and for the money, it beats intel at that price range
