quick Spec Check Please

[Simon_89]

Hey Guys,

Due to some circumstances i can't afford to spend £800 on my ideal specification right now so I'm having to make due with something which should be able to cope with basic tasks.

Hows does this look?

If you want to change the spec keep it under £300 with postage please

Thanks

if you were to upgrade, when will that be?
do you need a case and hdd?

 

[Simon_89]

I've already a Zalman Z9 case and a couple of sata hdd kicking about. I'd be ordering today possibly.

 

[tamzzy]

no, i what i meant was, when you build this rig (that you are ordering today), when are you planning your next upgrade?

there's a 120 ssd on offer for about 60 quid tomorrow

 

[Simon_89]

Ahh sorry, erm probably back end of next year and upgrade mainly PSU, GPU and CPU.

 

[tamzzy]

are you gonna game on the system?

 

[tamzzy]

had a play, though my spec means you'll have to upgrade basically everything (aka no future upgrade path)

The only thing with that is if I want to upgrade to a 3570K I will need a Z77 motherboard won't I?

If you want to overclock properly? then yes.
