Review this spec 24 hr before order

[Zenduri]

Hi guys,

i've slapped together the following gaming rig for a friend, could you guys please give it the once over to see if there are any problems.

He will be using a Silverstone 650w PSU and the OS,DVD drive and Hard Drives aren't required as these will be pulled from his existing rig. I could do with a few responses within the next 24 hours please.

Looks alright, you could get 16gb by going with the memory below:


YOUR BASKET

Total : £55.90 (includes shipping : £3.26).

Depends if you want 32gb in the future, I run 16gb using the same ram.

Do you have a heatsink?

 

[Zenduri]

retail cooler, my friend isn't that into overclocking to be honest.
My main concern is if anyone see's any problems with it?

No issues. But you can get cheaper stuff. I would look at a £15 after market CPU since its a lot quieter than stock and works better.

RAM is overkill unless he needs it, 8GB is more than enough for gaming.

Consider an MSI 7950 an alternative as well.

 

[Zenduri]

he does a lot fo video encoding for youtube so the 16gb was a bit of a punt for an extra £20 or so

 

[Zenduri]

any more thoughts

Antec P280!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zenduri]

getting commission from Antec Stulid??

Dropped the ram to the 8gb version now instead of 16 and added in a new HD as his packed up last night

 

[stulid]

Seems that way, but for £65 (was £100±) its a bargain.
