Jordan6 · 17 Apr 2009 at 14:19

Im not quiet sure, i was thinking of adding better parts to make it a better proformance.

RIZZEE · 17 Apr 2009 at 14:34

nice, ram is dirt cheap now days anyways, might be able to get something else as well

*sighs* I remember the first PC I ever built...those were days...and now look at me...lol...Core i7 already...I cannot believe it hehehe...nice build mate...you will get better as time goes on

Jordan6 · 17 Apr 2009 at 14:46

Yea thanks,
i was just thinking of adding ram, cpu, cooler and maybe a graphics card.

Any suggestions on a best buy for any of these?

Edit:
Or maybe a case but i have a strict budget so maybe cheap or shall i stick with the one i have?

Is this a wise idea :confused:

?

EDIT: Link updated.

That looks like laptop memory to me. Did you link to the wrong item?

Jordan6 · 17 Apr 2009 at 18:04

Lol ya. ill edit that link now.

fobose · 17 Apr 2009 at 18:16

Looks good to me. I bought some Corsair 2x2GB stuff recently for the same price, ram is very cheap

What OS are you running? 1GB seems very low these days, especially if your planning to play games eventually.

Jordan6 · 17 Apr 2009 at 20:10

Its running 32 bit vista and yes 1gb is low because its build from 3 computers which where bought 2+ years ago

What motherboard is it?

From the spacing on the ram slots it looks like it takes DDR so that DDR2 you linked to wouldn't work.

Jordan6 · 17 Apr 2009 at 21:50

I think it is DDR2 as it says DDR2 on it but i took a picture just incase.

Raikiri · 17 Apr 2009 at 22:01

Fair enough

I would go for the XFX 4830 @ £77 and the ram you posted.

Jordan6 · 17 Apr 2009 at 22:04

Could you please link the XFX 4830 please?

Spooter · 17 Apr 2009 at 22:49

XFX 4830 - What power is your psu..

Add that and the memory suggested above and you got a perfectly use able build.

Just for interest what motherboard is it?

You could get some cable ties and tidy up..(Not really one to speak)

With the better memory you could also overclock the cpu slightly maybe aim for 2.4 - 2.5Ghz on stock cooler.

Jordan6 · 18 Apr 2009 at 01:54

Lol the components are all quite standard.

The psu is a stock packard bell 250 W.

And the motherboard is a stock packard bell MCP61.
