Final Spec Check (Yawn ! :D)

[Andelusion]

Hey all, this isn't for me it's for a bud who's just about to order a new computer.

He's building it for games basically and doesn't want to spend much more than what the spec amounts to (about £800 afaik).

I've checked it over for him and it looks fine to be but i've been a bit out of touch with the latest hardware really so want some more knowledgeable people to give it the OK

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Socket 939 1MB Inc HSF

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9

Ram: G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 (2x1GB) CAS3 Dual Channel Kit (F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ) (MY-008-GS)

GFX:Gigabyte GeForce 7800 GT 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) & Quake 4 Bundle

HDD: Western Digital Caviar 250gb SATA150 WD 2500JD

DVDRW: NEC ND4551GEN

Case: Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS Black Aluminium Midi-Tower Case (No PSU) (CA-054-LL)

PSU: Hiper HPU-4K580-MK Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU - Black UV (CA-005-HP)

Keyboard and Mouse: Logitech UltraX™ Media Desktop - OEM (KB-065-LG)

He's buying everything from here besides the Mobo, HDD, CPU, DVDRW.

Is everything going to work together fine? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Thanks guys

I forgot to mention (doh) that he's not into overclocking, the Gigabyte board he's specced is only about £70 I think, I originally suggested to him the DFI one but as it's much more expensive and he's not into overclocking I said it wouldn't be for him.

Epox EP-9NPA+ nForce4 (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-030-EP)

Is this a decent board for a non overclocking user? I don't think he's going to want to spend more than £100 on the motherboard as he's spending a lot altogether already.

And this stuff: G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit (F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX) (MY-007-GS)

...same as mobo really, is this going to be worth the £6 extra (lol) if he's not overclocking? Is it generally better memory?

Thanks guys

Okay thanks everyone, he's gone for the PC3200 mem and Epox board, i'm seriously jealous of him

Oh well when i upgrade in a few months and his system's out of date i'll be pwning then

Ta.
