Spec please

[IggyStooge]

Hello

A mate has asked me to build him a system with windows 7 (tower only) for general use, internet, burning cd's/dvd's etc but also music production (probably ableton). No gaming. He doesnt want a large case, the smaller the better. No budget but needs to be kept sensible. I can then let him know to see if he says go ahead.

Thanks in advance.

Can't do full spec, someone may, posting from phone at work, but you can look at a nice little mITX build, i3 cpu, h55 mobo, 4 gig ram, 500 gig F3 hdd, optical drive, lian li case, corsair cx430 psu, win 7hp, should be under 500

stu, thoat board dont seem to be crossfire ready even though theyre "GX". i thought "X","GX" and "FX" were crossfire ready. can you or someone confirm this please.

 

[stulid]

i only picked it for the price, with a Nvidia GTX460 i wasnt bothered about picking a crossfire board, even tho it has the 890 chipset but only one 16X pci-e slot.

 

[Jony27]

yeah ocuk seems to have stocked some biostar boards lately, it still bothers me why they named it 890gx even though it only has one 16x pci-e slot
