Another spec thread...

[Tazzfalcon]

I was wondering if someone could help me with a spec for the following items. (Already have Am3 board, 955BE & 8gb DD3)

Cheers!

• Case to take a full ATX while being as small and quiet as possible
• An AM3 socket cooler to fit said case with mild overclock potential
• A PSU capable of supporting a single low power graphics card + the usual bits
• An inexpensive GFX card capable of playing games like codemasters F1 series on low/medium at a half-decent frame rate.
• An SSD - cheap and cheerful
• Optical drive - cheap and cheerful
• A fan or two for the case if it doesn't come with one - cheap and cheerful
• A wifi card- - cheap and cheerful

Budget for the lot £200 or less!

Thanks!

You won't get all that for less than £200, unless you go second hand, even then it's a mega push.

Thanks for your input guys, that's much appreciated. I might sacrifice the GFX card somewhat to make budget but we'll see. It's for someone who isn't much of a gamer!
