Need New Build

[SkullMunky]

To the guys who posted in my last thread, i decided to scrap the pre built spinosaur and opt to building myself, i have to learn sooner or later.

So...ideally id like to spend between £700-£800 (i have a grand to spend but ive eyed up a monitor already

I dont use photoshop or any demanding software. I Just surf the web and game.

So if anyone has a nice gaming setup for that price range, and gets me many happy gaming years, id love to see it, cheers

Oh and just to add, the case will be my under the desk, so it doesnt have to be amazing or have any lights on. and id like it to be quiet as possible lol.

^ Hard drive would help

If you don't want an SSD then put the extra money on graphics.

Oh yeah it's because I took out the Windows 7 bundle and forgot to put one back in

That means add an extra £40 on top of my build for a F3 or Barracuda and your got your self a quiet but powerful machine

Also the MSI G45 is just a revision of the C45 where as the GD65 as a different model completely and has better components such as the full MilitaryClass II.

Check out the posts from ScottiB in this thread about comparing the MSI motherboards, namely posts #5, #19.
