Just need to find about £900 then.

After some searching, I can say that the E6600 is marked as £227.06 inc VAT, and the E6300 and E6400 are both marked as £135.37 inc VAT. Finally the E6700 is marked as £372.50 inc VAT.

Delicious.

Yea I've been saving for a while, still nowhere near enough. Meh I'd still take nights out over it though.

what is the fastest conroe setup that I could expect to get with £1400?

Beenom · 17 Jun 2006 at 01:01

If thats just for the base unit then you could get the E6700 (2.66 Ghz) EASY! If you need monitor, keyboard etc then easily E6600 (2.4 Ghz)

.

Thing is if you get the 2.93ghz chip the FSB will be high already, limiting overclocking somewhat. Unless you can change multis on extreme chips like the FX's?

Only need:

1. Motherboard
2. CPU
3. Graphics Card
4. Memory - 2GB Fast DDR2

and i`am not interested in overclocking the setup.

Then you can get the E6700, a really good and stable motherboard, maybe X1900XTX Crossfire and some really fast DDR2 ram.

Im not sure about how much the X6800 (2.93 Ghz) would be.

Also will this PSU be ok for the conroe setup or will I have to buy a new one?

(Enermax EG701AX 600W PSU SLI ready...)

Beenom · 17 Jun 2006 at 01:25

I think that Enermax should be ok

And if incase it isn't then you still have spare change from £1400 to buy it.

(Guesstimate prices)

E6700 - £320 - £350
Motherboard - £150
Gfx X1900 XTX Crossfire - ~£650
2 GB DDR2 RAM - £200

Thats about £1300, so plenty left for a nice powerful PSU.

But im sure that PSU is enough.

[EDIT] Just read on xtremesystems forums, a guy asked about his PCP&C 510W, it will be fine so your 600W should be fine too

speeduk · 17 Jun 2006 at 01:27

Edit n/m misread a post.

Beenom · 17 Jun 2006 at 01:29

I mean crossfired with an X1900XTX, master card and a slave.

Beenom · 17 Jun 2006 at 01:29

Oh

I just read your edit, Thanks

I'm gonna be buliding an entire rig from scratch with £1200 so I guess I'll stick with the E6600 and then hopefully get the 3.2 Ghz EE when its released later this year.

Gerard · 17 Jun 2006 at 02:29

Must be weird from a standard consumer point of view, intel have had "on paper" faster cpu's than this for ages now all of a sudden theyre making slower ones (on paper). Gonna be some confused people buying pc's.
