£600 Tower Spec

BEvans10 · 10 Nov 2008 at 15:22

Put together the following for £600 (my budget).

Was wondering if anyone can see anything wrong or any possible improvements as this will be my first build.

Uses will be mainly for gaming, with various programming activities as well which won't be anything too demanding.

I already have XP 64bit and a 20" monitor to use.

Thanks.

I would say that's a good choice.. Treat yourself to a couple of 120mm fans for the front of the A300. You'll get a decent rate airflow all the way through.

I'd swap the Samsung HD for the Western Digital equivalent, WD owner here & dead chuffed with it (fast & quiet).

Agreed! (i love my WD drives)

Other than that well done for getting it about right on the first go!

Thought about overclocking? Those chips clock very nicely

If you do decide to OC you'd need an aftermarket cpu cooler of some kind....

Thanks for the help guys, i;ve ordered the original spec with 2 120mm fans as well. When i get to the stage of overclocking i'll go and buy a CPU cooler then i guess.
