I had orginally suggest i3, 6850 etc...

YOUR BASKET
1 x OcUK HD 6850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £99.95
1 x Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard REV 1 £84.98

Total : £494.87 (includes shipping : £10.00).



(i know a case is missing, we were going to recycle an old one, but if one can be included for £450ish... go for it)

but after looking at the specs for the first time i think that the above may be a little OTT ha and i haven't a clue about cpu's below i3 sb aka llano...

budget is £400-£500 but preferably the lower end

i guess it would be nice to allow future upgrades too...

Cheers guys...

I think i'd rather go for z68 for onboard vga tho as a back up and reuse old case.

Any reason for the seagate hdd over the wd?

Cheers for the reply stulid
 
 
Would this spec be good for WOW play?

Hi all, just new to the site and have been putting up with laptop and now it is affecting my gamin. I have £500 so was interested in the specs put up. Would these be suitable I am not very PC aware but I am wanting to improve my WOW rating and get Gladiator arena title but my rubbish laptop is letting me down. Any suggestions very much welcome! :)
