hey guys. Just ordering the core parts for a new pc after mine went up in smoke lol. Just checking to see what you think of these bits. I have another 512mb of ocz ram sitting here from my last rig and ill hopefully stick more ram in when i get the money. Just making sure all this is compatible and if you guys can pick any faults with it.

cheers

yea my budget is as close to 300 as possible, 350 max tbh.

yes well until i have the time and money i will just make do with what i have. All i was asking was that the base of the system was compatible and all hunky dorey.

my god that is tempting! But if i only have a 3200+ that would bottleneck it a lot though i would have thought? Anyways i only play games at 1024x768 res with hardly any AA or AF on so such a card would be a waste.

lol yes i most probably would

But at the end of the day you have to draw the line somewhere. If i looked at every pc component in a way like " xxx model is only £30 more and is twice as fast as xxx model" i would just end up spending far too much money. I have a limit and must stick to it

Im also learning to drive so spending lots of money on a pc i wont use a lot is also just a waste.

wish i had the money though
