Hey, I'm looking to build a new computer primarily for gaming and 3D applications such as Maya, as I'm starting my second year in a 3D animation and special effects course at university. I'm looking to spend no more than £450, but even cheaper is obviously much better, I'm a student!
I havn't really been keeping up with hardware and stuff over the last year or so, so I really could do with some advice, just want to make sure im getting everything right. So far everything costs just under £440 and don't really want it to go above that!
Here's what I have so far:
Coolermaster Centurion 5 + 550W eXtreme Power Plus PSU
ASUS P5Q SE2 iP45
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz 1333FSB w/ Arctic cooling freezer pro
Sapphire HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
OCZ 4GB Kit (2x2GB) 800MHz/PC2-6400
Western Digital WD2500AAKS Caviar SE 250GB 7200RPM SATAII/300 16MB Cache
Sony AD-7200S 20X DVD±RW/DL/RAM Internal SATA
Any changes/recommendations to be made here?
thanks
