Quick Spec Check before I buy!

GreenMint · 7 Oct 2008 at 22:40

Hey guys, just a quick check on this spec for my brother, he's going to be using it for surfing, e-mail, office usage, football manager, and some general games that are not going to be expected to run at full whack graphics!

Just wanted to make sure everything should work fine together, or any areas where an alternative product could save a bit of cash anywhere abouts?

Thanks

Get an antec 300 and spend the extra on a graphics card

tbh this case suits him fine, he's not got the most room, so a smaller case like this should work fine, just wanna make sure really that the PSu in this will be enough, and that everything should be finetogether, is this RAM ok with this mobo/cpu combo?

imo get the OcUK 4GB as it is 4GB and rated to run 6400, and only £44, which you can then put towards a better gfx card.

heres my take on it:

a little extra, and you could get rid of £10 by getting rid of the fans, but on the stock cooler for the CPU you should get 3GHz.

brilliant gfx card for the price, which can OC to 3870 speeds.

also 22"

and better speakers

Does look a pretty decent setup actually, might have to swap my 20" for his 22" when it comes....dear oh dear!

As long as this setup won't be too noisy, we should be onto something, cheers dude
