Need help building a good value game rig (base unit only w/o OS, budget
£700). I've had a quick scan of other posts and they generally include a monitor which I already have. Oh, and I like RAID0 but I'm sure somebody will tell me I should spend my cash on a faster processor (or other).
This is my 1st pass...
Asus A8N-Sli SE nForce4
(I like the option of adding another GPU in 2 years time. I guess there is no major difference between SLi or Crossfire as far as this upgrade plan goes ?)
£67
OcUK Value 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 184pin DDR Memory Dual Channel Kit
£117 (might have to slim down to 1GB)
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (no point in getting less than this I guess)
£100
RAID0
2* WD 1200JS or
2 * SAMSUNG Spinpoint P120
£120
X1900XT (perhaps totally OTT for budget. I need something I'll be able to double-up with in 2 years time)
£300
Approx £700 plus...
Case/PSU anything (suggestions please)
DVD drive anything
Do overclockers provide anything like this prebuilt ?
Cheers
