Hi all, Im planning on building my fist PC rather than buying a full system as it is somthing that I have wanted to do for sometime. I already have a 17" monitor which Im not planning on upgrading atm and I do not need a keyboard or a mouse.
Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - £52.86
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK) - £52.86
Zalman CNPS9700-LED CPU Cooler -£39.94
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB GDDR3 - £193.86
Samsung SH-182MRSMN 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter - £21.14
Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU - £93.99
Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard - £82.24
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB ST3250620A ATA-100 16MB Cache - OEM £42.29
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express) - £30.54
Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - £70.49
Total : £695.42
I am planning to OC but I am undecided on some components,
- Is a 620*** PSU overkill, could I get away with a 520wat?
- Is it worth spending an extra £10 on Crucial Ballistix 2GB 800MHz?
- Are there any better cooling cases for a similar or lower price (Im not bothered by how it looks).
- I have a GeForce 7900GS in my current rig and Im thinking of using this in the new build and getting a 8900 when they are released.
Thanks for your help!
