Hi there everyone,
I just need some help on a new build. I'm off to uni this september to hopefully study medicine and I need a new PC for the 13 week holiday i have now, then as my main source of entertainment for movies games etc at uni. I also need it to be small(ish) size and not too loud when running under load.
I have a budget of around £600 (ideal, can stretch to £650) and would like this PC to be able to run COD 4 at max 1680 x 1050 and FSX at max/ultra at the same resolution, with a comfortable FPS, 20fps+
I also need this PC to have lots of processing power, so I'd most likely go for the Q6600 at stock speeds (no overclocking) and an aftermarket cooler.
I had this build in mind
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Energy Efficient 95W edition Socket 775 (2.40GHz) G0 Stepping L2 8MB Cache OEM Processor
Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Processor Cooler
Asus P5Q PRO P45 Socket 775 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
OCZ 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 Reaper Memory HPC Edition Dual Channel
Asus HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 Top Edition Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card With Free Battle Forge Game While Stocks Last
Casecom Black Mid Tower Case - Front Blue LED 120mm Fan - With Side Window
Arctic Power 500W PSU With PCI-E 2x SATA, 20+4 ATX12V 8pin +12V Connectors - Retail Boxed
Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200RPM 16MB Cache - OEM
Microsoft Wireless Black Optical Desktop 1000 - USB - Keyboard and Optical Mouse
Comes to £645 inc next day delivery
Any help please? Comments/improvements on the chosen build.
I'm welcome to any suggestions on a brand new build
Thank you!
