Spec meee :d £550ish

[NarChaDBaueR]

Hey all,

A friend need a new PC and this is what it needs to be

"between £550 and £600 is my budget, though its flexible. going to use it primarily for css and cod4, but also for 3d rendering and video rendering (so quad core is useful). case and stuff i aint bothered about, whatevers best"

He needs everything for the base unit, so HDD, optical drives etc. But no monitor, mouse and keyboard.

Thanks

Jack!!

Generically, you're looking at;-

e2160/e4500/e6750/Q6600
AF7 Pro / Tuniq Tower
8800 GT
2GB RAM
Asus P5K
Samsung Spinpoint 500GB
Akasa Zen Case
Corsair PSU
Pioneer SATA DVD Writer

This would do a darned good job if he's not overclocking. If he is, or he decides to spend more an 8800 GT is a possibility. If he is let us know and I'll knock up another spec.

 

[NarChaDBaueR]

he wont be overclocking no.

All necessary cables come with the motherboard. I can't answer your shipping question.

 

[NarChaDBaueR]

work with the above spec?

and then a tagan 430 watt psu?!

 

[Shrapnel]

It's not touch tagan with a barge-pole mate.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

I haven't used that case but I imagine that it'd be OK. I'd take the OcUK Huntkey 500 W PSU in that price range. For being a generic PSU its numbers are pretty good.
