Another £600 spec me thread

Don't waste money getting XP just get Windows 7 it's free to try at the moment and that expires Aug so it buys some more time which then he can get full version when it is released it supports xp compatible mode.
 
Ok well i have spoke to him this morning and he has decided to ditch his old xp and harddrive :) The peer pressure on here won him over guys. :)
 
Here is what i have come up with so far




Would use WIN7 for the time being

comes in at £486.91 .Think i can get free shipping now as well :)
Have i missed anything or any upgrade that may be worth getting have just over a £110 to play with??Is it worth going quad core maybe for a bit of future leeway maybe
Edit best get a CPU cooler :/

Thats what I was thinking - get the W7 release candidate then buy the full OS in march next year = enough cash for a 720BE and a 260core216, which will annihilate just about anything on a 19" monitor.
 
I'm also a bit :confused: about why people are speccing OS's on this thread.

I know the OP says he wants XP, but if you spend more on the upper end processors, you can run XP within W7.

AH cheers for that wasnt 100% sure with the virtual xp thing in W7.

Thanks for the feedback people :)
