Hi guys,

A mate of mine is afer a tripple spec - 3 budgets of £700, £600 & £500. He is wanting to see what he can get for the varying prices. This will not need a moniter, OS, Keyboard or mouse. He is not wanting a case that looks too flashy either.

He will be using the rig for internet & gaming.

Please could you do like this:

1) £700 Budget

....

.......

2) £600 Budget

...

........

3) £500 Budget

.

Thank you all in advance guys

Overclocking at all ? whats the use of the computer ?
Click to expand...

He may overclock a bit, maybe best to put a good CPU fan in there and a gigabyte mobo - I have a gigabyte and he is familiar with them.

Pc use - gaming, internet, will need at least a 320Gig HD

I have seen some decent reviews on the Hutkey PSU's and a good bang for buck one at that.

Some good specs up there, but I would put an e2160 in all of them. Overclocked on an AF7 Pro (or similar) cooler, there is nor reason to go for the 333FSB conroes, which are already pushing the motherboard at stock. An e2160 at 333FSB has a 2.997GHz clock speed, essentially what you get with an e6850 at stock :cool:
