Sorry to add another spec thread but unless anybody has any ideas about any major alterations it is all ready to be ordered tomorrow.
£800 to spend, gaming and photo editing, must include a monitor and windows, everything but for a mouse and keyboard really. This is what I have come up with :
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM with FREE TrackMania 2 Canyon PC Game £169.99
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6870 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE DIRT3 & Deus Ex PC Games £134.99
MSI P67A-G45 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION ** £89.98
Antec TruePower New Modular 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £59.99
BitFenix Shinobi Gaming Windowed Case - Black £52.98
Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+/AM3/LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366) £25.99
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) £25.99
LG GH22NS70 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £16.99
OcUK V-Line 221V2SB 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black £89.99
( Microsoft Windows 7 Bundle - Home Premium 64 Bit £68.40
Options applied to the above product:Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache - OEM (ST31000524AS) £44.99
Total : £797.98
Any problems with it? I was not sure which graphic card, so many to chose from, the one I went for seemed to be the best value.
Is it worth spending an extra £20 on the Asus or BenQ monitor?
Finally I need to add a couple of 120mm fans, the Akasa Ak 191 seem good value?
Quietly excited, I have not put together a computer for a long time
Thanks
