PC Specs (again - sorry)

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 20:13

Hey, just thought about buying a cheaper PC, so that i can get a monitor..later on.

I'd like around a 6800 GS and at least AMD 64 3200 (at very least).

Budget is around £510.

This includes: Motherboard, CPU, GFX Card, PSU, RAM, HD (if its less at finish)

Sorry for the re-post

Regards,

Adam

hehe, i liked the specs..just i wanna try spend less..to save for the slight modifications later, like a new graphics card in the next 2 years or so...and also a new monitor soonish. Thanks if you can mate. Hopefully around AMD 64 3500

Cheers.

If you have MSN it may be easier, instead of spamming this forum again about my PC

Oh yeah, sorry i forgot to add it :eek:

OEM isnt very good though, is it?

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 20:41

Well, considering theres not much price difference between the 3500 and the 3700 (retail) is it worth the 3700?

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 20:45

What is the main differences between AMD 64 3700 - OEM and also Retail?

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 20:49

Ah k..no speed related things then? So basically...you have to use the £20 difference to buy the fans etc?

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 20:54

Gaming, Personal Use (no..not that

) I can Spend £510ish Max. I want it to last quite a while and have a good Graphics Card..to play CoD 2 smoothly. Also..if possible have it between £400-500 so that way i can consider a monitor

. or a HD

Is this PSU any good?

ideally, id like amd 3500.. also the RAM is the Corsair Value (1x1GB) stick cheaper?

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 21:08

Well, i like the spec, just i dunno whether that CPU is going to last or not

maybe a 3500? Also do i need any cooling devices? I will be buying a case later on probably..i have a customized one atm.

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 21:16

What kinda CPU you recon is good enough for games out now (CoD 2 etc) and maybe some coming out?

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 21:30

Dont wan to Clock..but i am gonna buy another stick..maybe anyway

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 21:33

Hehe, ill do it later, im on a budget as i dont work. Well atm i have : AMD Athlon 2800, 512mb Ram, 9800 Pro..450w q-tec psu..so im wanting to spend £400-500 (500 max) on a new PC kit.. Will i feel a lot of difference in a 2800 and the 64 3000 or the 2800 and the 3200?

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 21:41

Hehe, the fear over rules it

Hmm..you got MSN? its a bit more instant rather than waiting

hehe

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 22:07

Well, you can help me decide on whether i want a higher CPU, or what ever etc... Also what gfx card to get, to have it for a while and answer some questions about diff things

syke · 20 Feb 2006 at 22:12

that looks like a snazzy set up, i could also lose the HD till later

Also i might get an Abit Mobo..i feel they're more stable

Gigabyte K8N SLi nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard
