Need help with spec

Ramshackles · 27 Aug 2006 at 10:30

Hello all,

I know there are a multitude of posts like this, but most of them end up a bit over my budget really. I used to build my own pc's but haven't paid any attention to hardware for ages so I'm a bit lost now.

I'd like to keep the spec around 500£ or so, a little bit over won't kill me though. Primary object is for gaming but only really playing WoW currently so probably won't need the meanest GFX around, would be nice with a motherboard, cpu and memory I won't have to change the first year or two atleast.

I only need CPU, Memory, Motherboard and GFX. Set on Core 2 obviously.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are you overclocking? Sure you won't need a PSU?

I recently just bought a new 500watts psu because the old one died on me, this new one should have the connections to fit the new motherboard. I'll need a cooler for the cpu though.

About the overclocking, it's not something I've ever done before so not sure if I would be up for the challenge.

Will the system cost more for overclocking? 500-600£ is the amount of money I can spare probably.
