stulid · 20 Jun 2011 at 21:50

Yes, and its nice to see a different case being suggested than the same old things.

inkleach · 20 Jun 2011 at 21:53

I hate to be a pain,but i really want to have a tv card in the build too,is this something thats pretty simple to install onto the build?

Realised also i would need to buy an OS

Spydell · 20 Jun 2011 at 21:55

No i think that's a horrible spec and totally overpriced (just my opinion)
Take the graphics card for example i would easily take this card at this price over the asus
I have a list as long as my arm as to the reasons why but have a look yourself and maybe you can see why. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-128-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

Everywhere i look i see people recommending the asrock boards and i really don't know why, unless its the price???

chris_holmes · 20 Jun 2011 at 22:12

Your opinion but it a rig that will perform well and last it is a very good mobo

chris_holmes · 20 Jun 2011 at 22:15

Get a hdd OS bundle and thermal paste and as I know tv cards will go in and oinstall and sort its self out

chris_holmes · 20 Jun 2011 at 23:03

Only one more thing you may wanna upgrade to 6 or 8 gig RAM if you can push budget up would run witcher better

Yeah,upgrading to 8GB shouldn't be a problem,as long as it doesn't involve adding more cooling..cos that'll just confuse me!

Nigel014 · 20 Jun 2011 at 23:13

4gb is plenty for gaming, unless you wanna be doing a few other things in the background. Upgrade with another 2 sticks later if you really need it in my opinion.

chris_holmes · 20 Jun 2011 at 23:35

8 gb makes it future proof and no no more cooling for extra RAM maybe another case fan and definitely thermal paste for CPU cooler

Well mine flashed to a 6970 and even without the flash its still a much better card,
quieter,
cooler,
factory overclock,
better power design for overclock,
free game,
cheaper,
I could go on but i think you should hopefully see the point by now,
Also do you even know if the op is prepared to take the risk in flashing his brand new 6950 graphics card, let alone capable of flashing it.

This.

chris_holmes · 20 Jun 2011 at 23:45

Check what the op is wanting it for witcher minimum RAM on game debate 4 gb thus 6/8 allowing High settings 4 gb will only allow medium settings plus the price of xmcs RAM is cheap atm around 60 quid for 8 gb a worthy buy
