No competitors

what size of monitor do you have.?

wrayvon · 14 May 2009 at 20:42

Surely if your getting it for xmas you will want to do a spec in december as prices will change, new products come out etc...

Unless you meant its a really early present?

rowannew · 14 May 2009 at 20:42

i have a 20 inch atm its a nec multisync

Your best bet is to ask nearer the time as 7 months is a long time in the computer world.

rowannew · 14 May 2009 at 20:43

wrayvon this was just as an estimate to see prices and see if anyone can improve on them them and then tell my parents how much it will roughly cost

wrayvon · 14 May 2009 at 20:44

I see, ok I shall get on it!

Rowan if I was you I would wait for a Spec until A month or so before Christmas and then do a spec. This is because;
1) New DX11 GPU’s are coming out, you should Either get on of them or Hope fully the Current GPU’s Will Drop in Price
2) The i5 Will be out and hopefully better value for money than i7, and there 32nm which will be better for Overclocking.

rowannew · 14 May 2009 at 20:48

oh and forgot to mention i also have 2 IDE optical drives and a card reader
so dont need them and i have 2 200gb hjarrdrives with xp on them but i will probs put vista 64bit as i have a spare version

rowannew · 14 May 2009 at 20:49

yeah but kieran as i have mentioned i wanna do this for an estimate on price so my mum and dad know

ripped · 14 May 2009 at 20:51

If you’re Going To Buy anything before Christmas I would get the PSU and case as they Don’t really Advance as quickly as GPU’s, CPU’s, Motherboards .etc.

ripped · 14 May 2009 at 20:53

Sorry then Rowan

I’m So Slow at reapplying, when I was writing it you had posted that and I didn’t check until I clicked “post”

wrayvon · 14 May 2009 at 20:53

rowannew · 14 May 2009 at 20:54

lol yeah the first things im getting is the PSU and case as i will get the cpu and board etc nearer the time

ripped · 14 May 2009 at 20:57

rowannew · 14 May 2009 at 21:09
