Spec check

Can someone confirm this is all ok please. Budget of £400.

They already have an Asus x1950 Pro and need the following

case
psu
motherboard
cpu
ram
>= 250gig hdd

The owner will almost certainly not be overclocking. The rig is mainly to be used for photo manipulation.

Yep, that's a fine spec if they're not overclocking.

Cool ta. Anyone got any recommendations if they were to increase their budget slightly?

E6600 and a Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU

Although its not really worth it

Edit: Wills spec is better, yet again

Will, would that PSU be up to the job of the cpu and x1950?

EDIT: thought we we're talking about the corsair

Looks good, not sure how that RAM clocks though.

Its not going to be used for overclocking at all so doesnt really matter tbh
