Hi all,
yet another final spec check ... lol
going to blow £450 on a new rig which i will be using primarily for running vmware server for testing plus some 3d / photoshop etc. I don't game on the pc (xbox360 for me) so the gpu isn't a priority.
Not looking to OC the rig too much (3.6 if it reaches that).
I already have an additional 500gb sata drive plus dvd burner from my old rig and will run it with a 22" flatscreen.
I've come up with this spec...
total comes in at £450 on the nose.
is the psu overkill on this spec? would an samsung F1 drive give me anymore performance than the caviar blue? and is the ram good enough to push the cpu to 3.6-ish?
cheers
