Well the time has come for me to build a new rig. I've had a go at putting a build together, and I can't really go higher on price unfortunately (thus the value board, which I understand is good considering the price?).
Any advice on whether this is a good setup? I'm tempted to wait for the Geforce 9800 series but not heard anything concrete about when they're going to be made available - a Google doesn't seem to turn up anything other than smoke and mirrors (and now I've made my mind up I want to build the machine now )
Here we go:
OcUK Value IP35 Pro Intel P35 Motherboard
BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2
Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 2.66GHz (1333FSB)
Samsung SpinPoint T 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache x 2
Samsung SH-S203NBEBN 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe x 2
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
Coolermaster Real Power 620w Modular Power Supply
NZXT Hush Classic Series Silent Midi-Tower Case
Any thoughts folks?
