How Can I Save Money On This Build??

Skurlo · 10 Dec 2009 at 16:44

Hi guys I have specced myself a build using lots of other peoples reccomendations and have finally come to a close with this. I will be buying before the end of the month but I would really like to keep the budget under 400 though, so any ideas to save money? what I do or dont need? This is a gaming pc btw so Im reluctant to change that graphics card.

So, just three questions.

What can I remove or change to save money?
Will this PSU Power this Graphics card?
Will it all fit together? :L

Here is a pic of the spec I made:

Thanks a lot!

You guys here at OCUK have been great In heloing me with my first build.

Take the 4890 off and put a 5750 on will save money, It wont be as good but still play latest games, Taking fans off will save money, Taking cooler off will save money, Taking 245 off and putting 240 on will save some money.
Yes the power supply will be fine and yes it will all fit together,

Do I not need the cooler and fans?

No you get one in the box and as for fans you wont need them unless you want to lower temps on cpu and graphics card but both are low power so arent hot anyways

Ok thankyou.

thats brought the price down to £397.27

any other suggestions?

hmm use a lan cable instead of wireless, Do you have a pc already? Could use dvd drive,hard drive and case if you do.

Skurlo · 10 Dec 2009 at 17:19

Well I can't use a lan cable because Its too far to the router.

And I do have a pc already but its in use constatly.

Oh ok, Well you cant cut anything off that build unless you want to use onboard graphics.

Skurlo · 10 Dec 2009 at 17:35

Ok thankyou very much. I will be ordering soon

Oh and one last question. Will that cpu bottleneck my graphics card?

Biz.Kid09 · 10 Dec 2009 at 17:38

I assume you mean 5750? I dont think it will :/

Skurlo · 10 Dec 2009 at 17:56

Why, is there a difference if its the 4890?

Biz.Kid09 · 10 Dec 2009 at 18:17

Well the 5750 is cheaper so i recommended it and i assumed thats what your talking about, If you overclock your cpu you shouldnt bottleneck either.....
