Can someone go over my spec please? <3

Basically, this is the sort of system I want, however I want it to be as reliable as possible so if anyone can see an unreliable brand in this basket, please let me know.

do u already have a gfx card? what will it be used for

Surveyor · 22 Apr 2011 at 14:32

I assume you'll not be gaming and will be using the integrated graphics.

You're probably going to want a bit more storage as 40GB won't get you very far once you start to accumulate stuff. Windows 7 bundled with a 500GB drive for £101.39:

You can send me your Operation Flashpoint: Red River game as you won't be able to play it

You using the integrated GPU on board, it looks fine to me the brands are good the PSU corsair never had a problem with them - but for the love of jevus please make sure that everything is plugged in before using we had a blown unit already just saying to be safe but sorry... MSI probally one of the reliable motherboards manufacture you can go for as long as it not a asus i am usually happy i give your system a thumbs up

Nice cheap build if you say so

I'd change the RAM to this:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

Same price this week, faster and a bit more reliable than OCZ. Should run fine around 1.5V as well.

I'd probably use a different set of ram, although the ocz stuff is good, they are getting out of the ram business I believe (although someone will correct me if I'm wrong) this could lead to issues down the line if you do have a problem.

They are still going to warranty any returns or RMA on the RAM they sell. However I'd personally go for the Corsair aswel.

I won't need the storage, also, windows 7 is cheaper elsewhere, but thanks.

Do I get the game then?

I've swapped the RAM in the basket over to corsair to, thanks.

Also, I won't be using this setup for gaming, mainly fast office use.

Cliste · 22 Apr 2011 at 15:40

I was told before to stay away from the Builder Series PSU's.

Moodle · 22 Apr 2011 at 16:18

Looks good to me !

Is that a yes on the game then?

I feel like you've ignored my very reasonable request

Cythx · 22 Apr 2011 at 17:55

Ya sure, you can have it, won't be ordering the SSD for a while though. I'll messege you when I do, enable trust if you havn't

I thought you were kidding. What a chancer lol. Don't get if you don't ask I suppose

Tediore · 23 Apr 2011 at 00:10

I've had an MSI board (the P55-GD80) in mine since November. It's been great, and their RMA is based in the UK if anything goes wrong as well.

Looks good
