Spec check £250

[Richeh]

Right friend wants to know how much it would cost for a decent enough rig to run Age of Empires 3 at 1680x1050 at high settings.

He has keyboard, mouse, monitor, case and an Antec 480 Watt TrueBlue PSU, 2 IDE hard drives and 2 IDE DVD Drives.

He has a max budget of £250 but less is better if possible.

Thanks.

EDIT: Whoops, I need to find a mobo with 2 IDE ports...

EDIT2: That's better

Will the current PSU run that ok?

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Yep, it should be just fine since that's a pretty efficient graphics card .

I was more wondering about the connections to the motherboard? Sorry, I am not sure so as i'm doing it for a friend need to be certain.

It's an ATX 2.0 PSU so it'll do. You'd only be in trouble if it was less than 2.0.

Hmm just did a search the new model is ATX 2.0 but the old one (His is about 2 years old) isn't
