Hi

As i said in my other thread i have a £650 budget give or take without peripherals.Can this spec be improved upon for this budget.I wouldnt normally start a new thread but i need to order in the morning.
I have a 19 inch monitor so gfx card doesnt need to be brilliant.
An help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok i have made the changes suggested can you think of anything else i can change.This is right on the budget you see.I will be running the cpu at stock for a while before i get an aftermarket cooler and overclock it.

You could drop the quad core and go for the X2 555BE as the board you have chosen can unlock cores.
You might get one or 2 cores unlocked and as its around £30 cheaper it means you could push for the HD5770, Win7 retail and the Samsung 500GB F3 as the guys above pointed out.

I was thinking about going for a dual core.I know there not guaranteed to unlock. Just debating as to wether id be better getting a guaranteed 4 cores then not having to worry about upgrading for a while.Once the rig is built i just want it to last a couple of years without having to upgrade really.

Anything will be a major improvement from my current P4 :)LOL

£10 more for the M4A79XTD which does proper crossfire if you want that in the future.

I will probably keep to single card solutions for now.i dont mind playing on medium settings as i prefer gameplay over graphics so i could do with keeping the card for a year or 2 :)
 
Ok ive changed the gfx to the Asus cucore so im set to order 2moz.
Thanks
