I don't want to sound like an Uberdouche (well more than usual) but he keeps doing these spec me threads.

I've suggested intel would be better and gone through ALL the options (G840/i3/ and AMDs Trinity) and mentioned how to get an OS for free for 3 months with windows 8 DE. I've done specs and people have +1'd them or done slight alterations....to be honest there is nothing left to be said.

Of course the offers change weekly on the wed. and there are daily offers to mix things up but the core spec isn't going to vary that muc/QUOTE]

Lol I know you've specced me a **** load of pc's but my mates always show me these pc's and so I have to check and see if it's any good. I'm not gonna listen to friends though from now on cause from what I hear these are **** builds. Cheers hono

 

[BrayWood]

link us to these pc's your friends are showing you?

and we will tell you which is better between pc's and builds?

EDIT**** Actually might link us to competitors then. tel us specs of the pc's your friends are linking you too

Will do mate

What's a 'Mobo' and 'Bios'. Hono, I shall save £500 and use windows 8 for a while but tbh I don't know if I'll have enough for windows 7 in 3 months xD I'll hopefully have a job by then though

 

[BrayWood]

Mobo is an abbreviation for motherboard

Bios is the little program the motherboard has that makes everything work and communicate to each other.

Thanks

He doesn't get free P&P and the mobo is listed as missing accessories He won't be ordering with this weeks offers I think however I will do another quick stab at it as I'm bored.

Could use a cheaper case but the shinobi is nice. 2TB HDD because I could, optical drive in the spec too so he could rip his DVD collection to the storage drive for convenient playback. Sata cables in there as I think they will be missing

Frozr III < Windforce X2 < Frozr IV. The Frozr IV isn't voltage locked (like the other two GPUs) so overclocking will be easier, it's cooler is improved over the Frozr III and at RRP is the same price as the Windforce (which Stulid has kindly listed the pros for).

I do prefer the look of the Frozr III and at RRP it should be cheaper than the Windforce. Any of the these GPUs want to be overclocked for more performance. We can talk the OP through using MSI afterburner which can set custom fan speeds as well as tweak their clock speeds

Thanks for that bud
