Whats your budget for the whole system & are you looking to overclock it ( a lot/a little )

crazycordery · 22 May 2007 at 17:14

buget is around the £1500 mark no higher really still gotta sort out some speakers to go with the system got all that just cant decied on the speakers

Jaffa_Cake · 22 May 2007 at 17:20

*points to overclocking bit on previous post* So i can finalize my spec

crazycordery · 22 May 2007 at 17:21

yeah why not i mean ive never done it before but i was looking into it.

Jaffa_Cake · 22 May 2007 at 17:31

Final question, what will the pc be used for? Im guessing gaming from your setup there.

not a lot of point in getting the RAM cooler, and also i would get crucial ballistix from experience.

everything else seems fine, although if you dont want to get SLI go for the gigabyte ds3p

You can easily get a similar spec with a GTX for £1500, i know because thats what i plan to do!

You wont regret it.

Im not too sure about the keyboard or the screen in this spec. So someone please correct me if they aren't worth it.

This is the first time i think i ever specced under budget

Edit: seeing as you are going to be using Vista then 4gb of ram is a good idea and its within your budget see HERE for good 4gb ram
