Focus: Play WOTLK (wow) with max everything at 1920*1200 with decent fps
Aim: Probably build a v powerful pc at the same time for new games next year
Current: Nvidia 6200 TC (agp)
Pentium 4 (3.4gh)
Need i go on?
Its an old hp, about 2002 it was made so i feel its time for an upgrade
Price range: Up to £700(ish)
Going to be my first build hopefully my first overclock aswell
I am aware that this PC is more than enough for WoW so thats just a mild after thought
Current setup that I have put together
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail £117.49
Graphics: Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail £170.36
MOBO: Asus P5Q Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £91.64
PSU: Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 SLi Compliant PSU £72.84
RAM: OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Reaper HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2RPR800C44GK) £64.61
Case:Antec Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case £35.24
Case fans: 2* Akasa AK-191-SM Smoke Ultra Quiet 120mm Fan - 3 pin £5.86
HDD: Samsung SpinPoint F1 320GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD322HJ)
£38.76
Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775) £42.29
DVD drive: Samsung SH-S223F/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM £15.26
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g) £4.69
So my main questions are:
What could be better for a small cost increase
What could be cheaper cause i dont need it
Is the Memory/DvD drive/Cooler/PSU correct (those are the onese i struggled with)
Any suggestions will be really appreciated this build is at £664
Firstupdates:
Ok no complaints about it so far but three things i wish to do
Firstly im thinking off knocking to a articcooling freezer 7 (£17
)
Secondly is that motherboard going to get me up to near 4ghz with that CPU
Thirdly who else would recomend a q6600? (primary gaming pc)
