Another "Spec Me" Thread

[Tican]

Hi there,

I am looking at building a new pc.

It will be used as a Gaming PC mainly. But I will need a fair amount of space! (2x 500gb) I will have a budget of around £700, can probs go to around £800 at a push!

Ideally Core2Duo with a min of 2gb ram

I will need a screen included in this price too, but no mouse and keyboard
size of the screen is not a problem, but 17" min.


It has been a good 4 years since i built my last, infact it was when i JOINED These forums


Appart from that I have no clue, don't know if I am asking too much though!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks,

But that doesnt include a screen Cant be done?

Will you be doing any overclocking? If not theirs nothing wrong with AMD.

I am unsure, I have been meaning to for the past 3 years with this unlocked Barton, but I have never got round to it, so I guess I wont be.

Would I save cash this way?

By the way, I can live with a 500gb and something like a 120gb too (for Windows)

I could do with an OS too if there is any cash left over


Thanks to everyone so far I am saving them in a text file

What are the AMD alternatives?


Also the PC needs to be as quiet as poss

Obviously if he's dead set against overclocking, you get more speed for the buck with AMD, but he seems on the fence, a little bit of gentle persuasion might nudge him over the edge

Complete outfit for £799.99 - style pricing (of course you'd never see this spec in !)

See with the current PC, the MOBO is limiting me to what I can do , that and the VERY poor cooling!


Nice price !
I am not dead set against overclocking, I just need to see if it would be worth it and how easy it is! I just want a pc with good FPS for games mainly

Nice one

Have to wait for my tax etc to be sorted first though ; hopefully it will be @ the end of the month
