Hi, I’m in the process of building my new pc which will be primarily for gaming and some very kind person on these forums came up with an impressive build within my budget (£1000-£1200) , this is how it is at the moment below
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB)
Gainward BLISS GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC)
Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS Aluminium Midi-Tower Case - Black
Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
NEC AD7170S Serial ATA 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM
Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK)
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler
Sub Total: £930.49 Inc VAT
I don’t need a keyboard, mouse, mouse pad or monitor as I’ve already purchased the Saitek Eclipse keyboard, MX510 mouse and the QPad masterpad and already have a 19’’ monitor so no need worrying about any of that.
I have a little bit of money left over and before ordering all the stuff im wondering if I could purchase anything else or upgrade any components, for instance I upgraded the PSU to the 620 instead of the 520. I have in mind buying a good sound card or Windows Vista or some extra fans or even any cables that i'll need, just wondering what some of you guys would do, thanks in advance.
