looking to build a basic task rig

Electroshadow · 10 Mar 2011 at 21:39

as a thankyou pressie for someone i thought i would build them a new pc as i know that they were thinking off up grading from thier old amd fx57

the pc is just really used for picture/video editing and dvd burning and software development. no gaming what so ever

i was thinking of the following:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-268-OK&groupid=43&catid=1817&subcat=
and
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-221-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

as i have a spare AMD 1075T & cooler here which im not using which could go in there.

would the onboard graphics be fine? as i know thier current pc still has a 6800gt in it.

hybrid572 · 10 Mar 2011 at 21:45

The onboard graphics on that board would be fine, but I wouldn't run a 1075T on a value PSU. You don't want a fizz-bang-pop scenario. A cheap case like the Xigmatek Asgard and the 880GM-UD2H with a decent low-wattage PSU like the Antec Earthwatts 380D shouldn't run you a lot more money, and will be a lot more reliable.

danewesley · 10 Mar 2011 at 21:46

whats the overall budget you have?

Electroshadow · 10 Mar 2011 at 21:50

ive got plenty on psu's here my attic is like a computer warehouse of odds and sods

did'n really have a budget, just wanted a case, motherboard and ram to go with the 1075t, i will swap over their existing drives and dvd burner.

just trying to keep it low cost really

How about these 3 ? Not much more & gives you a quality power supply :

Case £30

PSU £40 :

Motherboard £34 :

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-028-AK&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=

Total £104 instead of the barebones.

I've built for a friend in that case & it's surprisingly well built and good looking.

Electroshadow · 10 Mar 2011 at 21:53

just had a quick look dont really need a case either as i have 4 spare ones

but dont quite think they are the right style. honestly their case dose not need changing but i didnt want to turn up with just a pre assembled mother board lol...

not bad but will that motherboard run a hex core?

hybrid572 · 10 Mar 2011 at 22:10

You need an 800 chipset motherboard, as you want to use onboard graphics. I don't believe the motherboard that Quixote/dane suggested has onboard.

Besides that, ultra cheap motherboards are more trouble than they're worth. Get the 880GM-UD2H.

Electroshadow · 10 Mar 2011 at 22:48

found one of these (Asus M4A78LT-M Socket AM3) on the web for £40 which i think is quite good and will do the job

ocuk have the best 4gb ram deal atm 1600mhz for £29.99 :eek:

Quixote · 11 Mar 2011 at 00:01

The motherboard I suggested does have onboard graphics, albiet an ageing NVidia one but fine for non gaming use. It also supports X6 CPUs. Checkout the description.

Electroshadow · 11 Mar 2011 at 10:15

My attic really is like aladins cave.... having bit of a route through and found a msi gd65 board so maybe thinking about a seconr hand 1156 cpu??

So options are:
amd x6 1075t system but need to buy a board plus ram
or
1156 cpu system, which I will need a second hand cpu and some ram but I don't need a mother board.

Which type of system would you prefer?
also how much is a second hand say i750 gonna set me back

This PSU... Better than the one's suggested so far, and a complete bargain.

An 1156 CPU is probably going to set you back slightly more, try doing a search on the MM for them, or put a post in price checks and I'm sure someone would be able to tell you how much as I'm not too sure tbh
