Hi Everyone
My first post here so a quick bit about me. After reading through here I am probably considered an old fart as am nearing 40. I have been a computer fan since I got my little ZX81 about 30 years ago and up until about 10 years ago Ialways had a nice uptodate rig but then came kids, mortgage etc etc so my pc days were put on hold. So the other day I tried to play Black Ops and thats when I realised my current pc has had its day (pc just couldnt handle it).
So I am looking to put together something new but I am on an extremely tight budget - about € 460. I was thinking about the following. Now some of these products are not on OC which is why i didnt include links but can add them as they are from a supplier that doesnt show prices as its a trade site and is not in UK or available to sell to UK residents.
AeroCool E78730 730W PFC 24/20p Doble Canal 12V
AeroCool VS9 semi-Torre 6 vent. negra (without F.Alim)
AMD Phenom II X4 955 AM3 3.2GHz 8MB Black Edition
Kingston KHX1600C9D3B1K2/4G HyperX Blue 2+2GB DDR3
ASRock 770 Extreme3 AM3 DDR3 ATX USB3.0 SATA6.0GB
Asus EAH5770 Cucore/2DI/1GD5 ATI Radeon 1GB DDR5
I have H/D, DVDRW so dont need them but is the above enough info to know whether this will work and will it handle games today? I checked specs on Game-Debate but dont know whether their check system is any good. Putting the PC together is not a problem as I did build one many years ago so just need to brush up a bit.
All this in total would cost about €448 and thats inc delivery for items from UK (I am in Spain).
Appreciate any tips / advice.
Cheers
