Don't trust this guy he's using IE

That Phenom will not fit in the LGA775 MSI board.

Don't trust this guy he's using IE

Perhaps more importantly he is pairing an AM2 CPU with a socket 775 motherboard and the hard drive is seriously out of place, particularly given the budget.

I'm about to go to bed soon but if no one comes up with better then I'll have a shot tomorrow.

//edit and there is no PSU either although some of the parts are decent choices.

also the keyboard sucks... haha

 

[wannabedamned]

Stick with Intel. Get yourself a nice Wolfdale, and build up around that.

Either that, Or the current overclocking beauty, The Q6600. May be a large budget, But That processor is fantastic.

Anyways, I'll check back in the morning, and do a proper spec if no one else has. Currently limited, As my mouse died tonight, So I'm kinda handicapped

Behave, it is a perfectly good keyboard, I've used it myself (in fact I'm using it's older brother) although I'd agree it is probably out of place on a £2k system.

I actually decided I might as well get the specification done tonight, this doesn't use up all the budget but I figure at this level a lot of it comes down to personal preference in component selection so that is why there is room for manoeuver.

I bought it for work, I am only just getting used to the curvey keys

Here's my spec, might be a little to much...

forget my spec i bugered it up

Their is no need for a sound card as he already has one which comes free with the motherboard

Yeah, but that's a sucky soundcard in comparison; imo.

 

[RJC]

What's with the two differerent GTS cards or was that a mistake , if your thinking about SLI you will need to add Nvidia chipset (x38 crossfire)

Of course it will. You just have to persuade it with a bit of pressure, or a mallet
