If people could just leave a few comment about the spec and if it will all work together not very in touch with the new intel i series

Thanks

p.s a graphics card isn't needed and if savings could be made that would be great!

u can always swap the psu for the corsair cx400 to save another £25

you say a graphics card isnt needed? do you have one? or are you going to use the i3 cpu built in gpu? with that P55 chipset?

Just add a better PSU:

marc69 · 15 Sep 2010 at 23:47

What are you actually going to be using it for mate?

I'm surprised nobody else nobody else has asked, it's normally quite key in choosing components

@bhavv
he doesnt need a gpu

lynchy6789 · 16 Sep 2010 at 00:53

It for a mate he doing a music technology degree, he has got a 8800 GT at the moment but will upgrade that when is needed as currently not playing game

The case is a must and psu needs to be able to support GPU in near future so thinking 600W too be safe

Doughnut007 · 16 Sep 2010 at 01:09

Personaly I would Go for an AMD build and drop the ram to OCZ Gold 1333 2*2Gigs

Big.Wayne · 16 Sep 2010 at 01:09

Hey lynchy6789,

depending what final build set of components you go with the power draw of the system will probably be "a lot" lower than you imagine!

The AMD® Athlon™ II X4 above with an nVidia 8800GT will be hard pressed to exceed about 280watts full load! . . . I've had a few similar combos running using Antec Earthwatts 380w for ages with zero issues!

By all means do what you think is best but 600 watts is ridiculous unless your planning to install some Crossfired Radeon HD 5870's
