Spec Please

[Calum]

Hi again,

Need a spec for a friends brother this time - how come i always get roped in!?
Got £1000 to spend. (MAX - just don't go too crazy)

To be used for gaming, multitasking etc.

Needs to have a 19" tft, mouse, keyboard and speakers if you can fit it in, oh and windows - it should be possible for you guys i think.

Much appreciated

Lol i know i was just looking at that. Perhaps "value" isn't the best way to describe it as we're 'meant' to all be moving to ddr2.

Thanks for the idea's so far, it's just a competitor has offered a similar spec for a similar price with a x2 4200, but only a 7600gt! I wanted to give my friends pc more power graphically speaking so should i be able to justify the lower cpu performance against the graphical performance?

I know what you mean about the 4200 being a nothing cpu, but i don't know wether I would feel comfortable overclocking my friends cpu and leaving it be. But i suppose i could put a sycthe on the x2 3800 and clock it a little bit.

EDIT: So i'll go for pretty much my spec with a scythe and a 3800 instead of the opty and zalman

Sounds like a plan

Nice spec there monstermunch good work! If i get a good stepping on the x2 3800 i could clock it and leave it no worries. My friend shall be pleased!
