Dreadi · 29 Apr 2007 at 13:58

Ok, my friend wants a new rig which he would like to put an 8800GTX in so i'm guessing something C2D would be best (im all amd'd

)

So for £800 could you spec me GTX, motherboard, RAM, CPU and PSU ?

cheers

Yea, i know sod all about motherboards for intel. I'm not sure if he'll be overclocking, he might have a go so is that board just a good one? which would be the best ?

stickroad · 29 Apr 2007 at 14:08

Motherboard make`s little to no real life difference if your not overclocking.

But if he is this one should do quite nicely:

I let him run his eyes over it when he comes back online

anyone wonna add/change anything, feel free

You could always save some money and get the Corsair 520 PSU.

Dreadi · 29 Apr 2007 at 14:14

would that be sufficient?
