first spec

Silent Spring · 4 Nov 2009 at 16:04

hi all

i was going to buy a titan goliath but overclockers have put the price back upto £850

so was going to give a shout to building my first ever machine :O

now baring in mind i don’t know loads about components and stuff i have properly specified this machine poorly.

can people offer advice on it. whether it being a full new respec or just some changing in one or two components

most importantly if i have missed anything!!

budget no more than £750

uses : average gaming, multitasking, and general every day use.

ps must be future proof as possible

Thanks

Looks ok, you have chosen tri-channel ram, you will need dual channel.

changed it for the

Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C5 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMD4GX2M2A1066C5)

apart from that looks like a good system?

Will the gfx card definately fit in the case?

Biz.Kid09 · 4 Nov 2009 at 23:10

Yes that gfx card will fit fine

have a look at the £700 build in the thread in my sig and add the blu ray player if you need

i have tried making a slighlty cheaper spec.
how does it look?

do all the components go together? how futture proof is it? will it run COD4 and simular well?

thanks

ps the 700 looks good, how much better is it than the spec above i.e what im i getting for my fine 100 english pounds

95thrifles · 5 Nov 2009 at 12:05

well your 600 pound spec is 628 and my 700 pound is 678 so its really only 50 pound difference

for that you get slightly better gfx, faster ram, better hdd and better psu
re your spec, youre spending 31 on a case and then 20 on additional fans, for 50 youd get a much better case

i guees

re your spec

would the CPU come with any thing? manual? thermal paste? as this my first build?

also would i need any fans with that case? as you only list the CPU one.

im soo noob
