Hello spec me a pc please, its for a mate. I have £1000 to spend. He isnt a gamer so dont really require a 8800gtx.
The price will have to include monitor mouse and keyboard!



Thanks :)
 
here is £837. leaving graphics card to see price of 8800GT.

well a hsf which would be another £20. Not really much info to go on for what the computer will be used for apart from not gaming. If its for music production say, then you would rethink it but we dont know.
 
^ very very similar to that of which i was going to post.

Only thing id change is unless he is oveclocking, to change the CPU Cooler. A 8800GT could be a good thing to have for future.

But thats a great spec.

To get it under £1k, you can get a 22" Monitor.
 
Well if he isn't a gamer what does he need/want a computer for? Might help in choosing parts, e.g a good set of speakers/sound card if he is an audiophile.
 
Well here's another spec just to think over:

Case - Antec Solo
Power Supply - Corsair vx450w
Motherboard - Abit IP35
CPU - Intel Q6600 Energy Efficient retail version
RAM - (2gb Geil pc2-6400c4 ddr2) X 2
Graphics Card - Sapphire ATI Radeon HD2600xt 256mb gddr3
Monitor - Dell 2007wfp 20"
Harddrive - Samsung Spinpoint T 500gb
Operating System - Vista Home Premium 64bit
Optical drive - Samsung 20x dvdrw black

That all comes to £933.94 including shipping.

I didn't spec a mouse or keyboard since, more than most other items, they are very much down to individual taste.

Jabski's spec.

although, i would replace the 8600GT and the 2GB of crucial 8500....for...

2 or 4gb of GeiL 6400 & 8800GT ::)

Also...i would get the Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R

I always reduce the width of the window until the scroll bar appears at the bottom. This indicates that the column is as narrow as it's going to get. This is helpful for readers with smaller monitors as its less likely to break the page by widening the post too much. I too use Screengrab. This saves the selection as a .png. I use the Gimp to save the .png as a lossless .gif for a little smaller file size. This is helpful for readers who have slower Internet connections. I already feel bad for making them wait for an image to load rather than plain text so this meets them halfway. ;) This process means that the image is represented as it appears on screen without ever being subject to lossy jpeg compression or scaling to reduce the overall size.

For carts that are taller than my screen I have screengrab save the whole page then I crop it using the Gimp. :)

Thanks very very much. it will be helpful in the future
 
Really tied between on what to go for at the moment.

He wont be gaming, or any audio editing etc.
Just for general use, messing around on the PC etc.
But wants the best for the money at 1k inc shipping that will last for a good while.
The last time I built my self a PC was back in 2005, around the time the 7800's came out, so I'm abit behind with all the technology.
Now after looking at all of the offers on this page, Ive mixed and matched a few of your ideas and put them into one build.
How does this look? And will they all be conpatible? Also would they all fit in the case specced, I think they do, just rather make sure than buying the case, just to find out they dont all fit :p.

Had to change a few of the items listed in some of the specced riggs as they didnt include an operting system.

Thanks in advance!

Any reason for the huge case?

I would opt for the P182 ;) Nice cable management and nice looking case!

Also...the 8500 GT isn't worth it.

Asus ATI Radeon X1650 Silent 256MB DDR2 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
£41.99
(£49.34)

Would probably outperform it
