PC for my uncle

[Mono]

My uncle wants a new computer and I managed to convince him not to buy from PC World.
I now have £750 to build a gaming pc. Considering I am using a 939 opteron im a bit out of touch.
Any assistance please.

(we do not need a mouse or keyboard)

Thanks

you have a socket 1366 processor and a skt 1156 processor for a start!

i5 750 would be a good choice for that mobo

graphics card wise ati seem to more value for money atm. 5850, would fit in nicely, bit of a rush atm, or i would spec you one properly!

 

[Mono]

well any feedback is good. I will be making the purchase on friday so feel free to pop back and help me out

I will look into your suggestions

*EDIT* Made changes to orig spec

Its a little over budget but not a bad system I think, though others might do better!

 

[ssharp59]

I may be wrong but i dont think that tru channel memory will work with the i5 cpu. It needs to be duel channel.

 

[Mono]

I have been reading about the i7 vs i5 and think I would prefer an i7. Hows this for a spec?

 

[Vidar]

You wouldnt really notice much difference in gaming ive read..... Plus you are £127.96 over your originally stated budget!

Tell you what, what is your maximum budget and do you need, monitor, operating system etc?

 

[Mono]

Hey,

The Budget is £750 monitor is not needed as that is already accounted for.

So items required:-

Processor
Ram
Mobo
Gfx Card
Power Supply
Case
DVD Drive
Hard Drive (dont mind skipping this as i have spare- Although its from a standard corporate desktop)



sorry for the confusion
