Hi guys,
Putting together a new rig and it's been a couple of years since my last one, would really appreciate it if anyone in the know has a couple of mins to double check my build:
Product Name Qty Price Line Total
Intel Core i5 750 2.66Ghz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156) - OEM £140.99
(£119.99)
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard £138.99
(£118.29)
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £122.99
(£104.67)
Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA-II 64MB Cache - OEM (WD15EARS) RS) £91.99
(£78.29)
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) £183.98
(£156.58)
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599) £81.99
(£69.78)
Lian Li PC-8NB Midi Case - Black £74.58
(£63.47)
Coolermaster Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM3/775/1156) £13.99
(£11.91)
Not clear from the c+p but that is 8 GB RAM - is that worth it for Windows 7? I will be gaming a fair bit. I'll be looking for a medium level overclock, not pushing to extremes. Graphics card may seem a bit weak, but I would prefer to buy a similarly priced one in 18 months or so than spend a lot more now. But if that's stupid I'm open to suggestions
Thanks a lot!
