Good spec for the price?

Free delivery and 22 inch monitor.

I was considering building one but for that price...

 

[David]

i guess in some respects it's ok for the money, gcrad and monitor are cool but tbh the chip is slow, the case is f**king ugly and the ram is bottom speeds....just wouldn't expect the monitor to be up to much

 

[veaney]

hmmm.

im after a gaming pc for sub 500. any suggestions?

will only be playing GTA, COD, Fifa, FM and CS:Souce

 

[veaney]

bump

 

[David]

well they're all old games, not grapihcally intensive at all.

if you can build pc's perhaps this bundle
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-101-OK

with your old bits and a new case? else if your after a monitor and new hard drive and stuff your prob best looking a pc world or something like a cheapish dell. Trouble is you get what you pay for and for £500 including monitor and peripherals, it'll be hard pressed to get something that will last that long, all imo of course.

yeah thats cool mate, bundle looks good.

I have a 19' flatscreen monitor so thats no issue. Also got a 250gb hard drive knocking about. And im going to purchase a tsunami case they are nice.

Would probably have to stretch to 600 which would be do-able.

HMM let me work out some prices, i like that bundle ALOT

 

[David]

that bundles is very good tbh, easily clockable processor with that heatsink. get 3gig without blinking an eye. case is nice...although you'd had to get a psu too and a gcard....but as i've said before the gcard could be pretty cheap as the games your running are old

 

[veaney]

what Wattage PSU do you think i would need

 

[David]

i went for a 625 corsair one....very good for the money and good reviews. i've got a q6600 clocked at 3g on it no problems.

think you'd get away with less, but i'd stick with 600+ to be safe unless you monster overlcocking it on water or something..

 

[veaney]

cheap as chips for this case...

[David]

yeh just make sure you buy a fan filter thing...cause thats the sort of case that will cake your parts in dust! cheap mind u.

 

[veaney]

2 secs just sorting out the formatting..

 

[veaney]

i just screenshotted excel because i couldn't get it to format properly.......

 

[David]

only thing i will say is get a branded PSU, honeslty, don't scrimp on it, as if they're s**t they'll break, short out your mobo or worse, not worth risking, not enough people prioritise their choice of PSU, everything else is wicked, lovely spec.

the corsair are reliable, guranteed and modular.

 

[veaney]

ok matey, thanks for all your help will change the PSU

 

[Final Maxim]

i bought this PSU. For the price, they always get good reviews.
