Hi, i've been posting a few questions around the forum over the last week or so to see what people thought about certain parts of a pc i plan to build. So, here is the spec that i think would be suitable for me:
Antec Sonata III Piano Black Quiet Case - EarthWatts 500W PSU - £74.01
Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail - £58.74
Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) Motherboard - £93.99
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 PK PC2-6400 (2x1GB) - £70.49
Western Digital Caviar RE 160GB 1600YS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM - £39.94
Samsung 20x20 DVD±RW Dual Layer Serial (Black) - OEM - £18.79
Dell E207WFP 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black - £187.99
Netgear WG311T 108Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter - £29.36
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit Edition - £70.49
BFG GeForce 7950 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - £135.11
Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers - Retail - £46.99
Logitech Media Keyboard Elite - Retail (967559-0120) - £17.61
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 - Retail - £23.49
Total Cost Including VAT - £867
(Prices from Overclockers UK)
I was wondering if you guys could help me tweak it a bit, the absolute maximum price im able to pay is just under £900.
Im buying the DX9 graphics card and the E2160 because i want to wait until the new dx10 graphics cards and the new intel processors come out, do you think the ones i have chosen are suitable for now? I may overclock the E2160.
I run up to 4 applications at a time (itunes, firefox, ms office, and a game) so would this spec be powerful enough to cope well with that? My current pc seems to handle it quite well and its 4 years old! The game runs at about 20-30 fps.
Any help or advice is welcome
Thanks

Looks pretty big, think it'll fit in the case alright?
