Looks goods he could stretch to say £950 to get a better mouse + 5.1 speakers.
 
Spoke to my friend and he would rather have an AMD build. Could someone please be kind enough to spec me one as i'll be ordering on friday!

Thanks a lot for this much appreciated.
 
AMD system..

Swap the Conroe for AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ 2.00GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail (CP-166-AM) Price: £129.24 Including VAT
and Swap mobo (ASRock) for Asus M2N-E (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-147-AS) £68.14 Including VAT

Memory and the rest should be OK

More money, slower system but suitable for AMD fanboys :)

Ordering this today but changing mouse/keyboard/speakers.
Just a final check to see if this is ok ???

Thanks for your help
 
If hes willing to spend a bit extra go 4 the Gigabyte DS3 mb. Seems weird no-one recommended a better mb on that sort of budget. Remember the mb is the backbone of the entire system and Asrock, although not bad, are budget entry level boards.

I think he's maxed out on his budget. Will that mobo do the job still though ?
 
ordering this 2nite, Gigabyte DS3 is abit out of his price range, he could stretch to say £80 for the mobo. Any help will do!!!
 
Is it worth spending the extra £10 and get the Asrock ConroeXFire-eSATA2 ??

Also if i do go for the Asrock Conroe945G-DVI will the hdd be compatible
with it ?

Thanks for your help KizZ

I am not too familiar with SATAII but this thread should answer your question.
