As the title says, my brother has £400 for a tower which will be used for wow and Call of duty MW/(2). Can go maybe £30 over.

Many thanks Stulid!

Murney · 17 Oct 2010 at 09:16

Also will this OC by much ?

stulid · 17 Oct 2010 at 09:22

heres the Athlon Overclocking thread containing results and guides.

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18106677&highlight=630

but to reach some of the speeds in that thread a aftermarket heatsink and fan would be needed.

Had to hold fire on the above rig for my brother but I am now able to order.

Slight change though, he only has £380 MAX budget. My idea was to order a system with onboard GFX (needs to be able to play WOW) then order a new graphics card when he has the money.

Can somebody help me out with a spec?

Thanks

Onboard graphics, add a GTX460 later.

Not too much different from the previous spec, but the case is a lot better
