I'm building a system for a friend of my brother. It'll be used for gaming mostly.
I've come up with this:
Antec NSK4400 Mini Tower Case - 380W SmartPower PSU £42.99
(£50.51) £42.99
(£50.51)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 160GB ST3160811AS SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM £34.99
(£41.11) £34.99
(£41.11)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2) £13.99
(£16.44) £13.99
(£16.44)
Connect3D ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £94.99
(£111.61) £94.99
(£111.61)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ 2.00GHz (Socket AM2) - OEM £54.99
(£64.61) £54.99
(£64.61)
OcUK 1GB (2x512MB) PC2-6400 800MHz DDR2 Dual Channel Kit £60.99
(£71.66) £60.99
(£71.66)
Abit NFM2-nView nForce 6150 Micro ATX (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £59.99
(£70.49) £59.99
(£70.49)
Sub Total : £362.93
Shipping cost assumes delivery to UK Mainland with:
City Link Parcel Next Day (Delivered Mon-Fri)
(This can be changed during checkout) Shipping : £9.95
Vat : £65.25
Total : £438.13
I think that's pretty much the best spec for the price. I've tried persuading him to pay that little bit more for Core 2 Duo, but he seems reluctant.
Any comments/possible improvements?
