Any good, not too sure about lot of the stuff nowadays. £800 budget.
 
Found out my mate will sell me his Gainward Bliss 8800 GTS 320MB because hes buying a 8800 GTX. Also hes gonna sell me his OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400 800MHz Reaper HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition Dual Channel DDR2. I also thought about it and decided I didn't need to spend extra money on a quad core so going to go for a dual core. The prices have me confused with the E6600 being more pricey then the E6750. Also I think I am going to overclock my CPU (and ram if the OCZ reaper is good enough) so I'm not sure about the mobo choice. Could someone more in the know help me out. Value for money is main priority.

Hes selling it cause he has 4GB and doesn't use it cause he uses xp. I am also going to use xp. The reason I was going to buy them off him cause he would sell me them super cheap. About £200 for both the ram and gfx card. I don't want to spend money I'm not going to use. I will be using the system for Music, Movies and World of Warcraft. Also might start playing TF2 and CoD4.

Sorry did tyou say cheap? You mean super rip off right?

The 8800GTS 320mb is worth hardly anything. Its old technology. Its not got enough memory and its far far far slower then the 8800GT 512mb.

Its worth more like 90quid as even the new ati cards will kick its but.

2gb of ram costs you 30 quid. 4 gb of ram costs you 60 (ocz ram). Why would you pay 200?

By the way wow really benefits from 4gb of ram with all the people on screen.

YOu heard of WAR? (warhammer online: age of reconing). It looks to be absolutly amazing. Its split into 6 races in a 3v3 where its like a massive battle ground with PVP and PVE although concentrated on PVP or as they call RVR, relm vs relm. You fight to take regions over and eventually sack the eermy citys. Looks great :p

Thanks for the heads up, ill have a look so see how much the 8800gts 320mb is on the aution sites.

I saw a little bit about WAR but not really looked into it. Sounds pretty sweet.
 
Thanks for all the help 8igdave!

Here is my final build.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz (Retail 775)
Antec P182 Advanced Super Midi Tower Black
Samsung SH-S203 20X DVDRW - SATA - Black
74GB Western Digital Raptor SATA 16MB
Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R Socket 775 Motherboard
Corsair 620W HX V2 Series Modular PSU
XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog Edition
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-8500C5 800MHz Reaper HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition Dual Channel DDR2

What you think?
 
Bit late for that now, already ordered it :( Ah well. Am still very happy! Thanks anyways.

I mixed up the number and I got the OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Reaper HPC Edition Dual Channel DDR2 for 60 quid.

Dont worry about it. Still a great pc and youd be waiting for the 8400 to come in stock. However you can cancel it and wait if you want. You would have a 4ghz dual core on air cooling if you did :p

Tempting but I am super impatient. Can always upgrade in the future.
