hello, my brother wants a pc (just the base unit, no monitor) and I have been away from this forum for a while and am not at all up to date on whats good value. He wants something for a few games and internet, he doesnt need a huge amount of storage 250gb would be more than enough, 2gb ram would be enough and i have no problem overclocking if intel have some nice cheap chips that are good for that kind of thing. Only gaming at 1440x900 as well. max 400 pound.

thanks
 
squid?

This is a 370 squid.
 
thanks a lot, looks good, i saw a pc power and cooling psu in the clearance section which is 420w would that be enough to power a similar system? also how much better is the 4890 to the 4870? and does that one require a lot more power or not? thanks
 
I dont think so, i think im cutting it very close there. i would actully pay the extra money for the 550 watt psu thinking about it.
 
yer that case could fit it in, Personally i would keep the 4gb ram also all the cheeper kits are out of stock.
 
i would pay a bit extra and get phenom 2 x2 550. Its a great processor and very easy to overclock to 3.5ghz without additional cooling.
