Oh ok, you do actually need one that good then.

As far as i'm aware O/C don't sell anything bad.

 

[bigmaddaz]

In know its not like an £1000 gaming rig, but its gonna play them quite good yea? I mean its gotta be better than my current system

Athlon XP3200+
1 GB RAM
GEFORCE FX 5900XT 128MB

That will run anything you care to throw at it basically with that GPU.

Kool, anyone ever used OC for full systems? any problems?

 

[David]

hey dude, like everything but the chip tbh, but @ thta price, you can't complain. Overclockers are excellent, really know they're stuff, doubt you'll have any problems.

 

[bigmaddaz]

Ok, just notcied you gotta add a case onto the price of that! lol, yea dont really want to spend anymore than that though

could easily build that for cheaper. Just need to keep an eye out on special deals that sites offer as there is some right bargains out there. Managed to spec a decent HTPC for £250 the other day just shame i didnt have the cash to get it

Dito. Spec'd a machine that could play most games happily enough for £500 in a Silverstone LC13m HTPC case. Self-build is the way to go. Couldn't be easier and you'll know exactly what the machine is made up of

 

[bigmaddaz]

Yea used to always do self builds, but I literally aint built one for years so im really out of touch with all the new dual core stuff etc... mmmm I may have to ave a look around at buying the parts all individualy then from one source! ebuyer? scan? oc?

 

[Acejon]

Scan and Ebuyer are your best bet. I use both and they offer he best prices plus offer super saver delivery if you can handle waiting a few days
