Any good? URBANFOXYGUY GET HERE!

[urbanfox]

cd drive and a cd rw drive?

The cheapest under dvd writers.

 

[Skyline]

Cheers urban, might go with that you quoted.

Just need to wait and see what im paid.

 

[Skyline]

Ok Urban, if i uppmedm yprice to £400-£450 what could you do?

 

[urbanfox]

Sorry for the wait. This is a good system. A little close in price to conroe if you wanted to keep saving, however.

 

[Skyline]

Urban would that lot come with all the correct cables etc?

As i dont know how to build, i'd have to get someone to do it for me at work, just need to know if all cables are there?

 

[Ash]

You might need a PSU (unless thats included in the case?).

And i think you get 1 IDE & Sata cable with your mobo (i did anyway ). If not, the cables are cheap to pickup anyway heh.

I'm pretty sure everything you need cable wise is there.

 

[Skyline]

So if I bought all that, would i need any little extras or not?

Sorry for noob questions, but you love me so its ok :P

 

[Ash]

Well, maybe a floppy disk drive? thats if you want/need one.

Apart from that, i cant see anything else that you would need to buy ^^.

 

[Skyline]

Not too bothered about a floppy.

Good good, looks like ill be purchasing that next pay day!

 

[Ash]

the AMD upgrade kit was what i was going to buy at first ^^ Not a bad upgrade kit tbh, should be an uber pc with thoughs specs/parts (once you get it all together ).

 

[Blaminator]

Hay urban, what's better, the ddr2 corsair (800mhz/pc6400) xms2, or the dominator equivalent of it?

peace g

 

[Skyline]

Hey blam... get the F off my thread.

Peace G

 

[Skyline]

Urban, really sorry about this lol.

What would be best, the one you have totaled up fro me to build up, or this:

Hmm 350w cheapo psu, i'd reccomend a diff case with a better psu in (450w should do the job) , and aint that mobo and cpu a bit expensive (how the hell do you spell dear/deer?)

i reccomend the 4200X2 (£108) (socket Am2) from www.scan.co.uk and just get a nice asus / gigabyte mobo for £60 or so

As for the currys pc:

Graphics Description NVIDIA Geforce 6150
Graphics Memory 256mb mb The higher the memory the better quality images you are display <<<False statement really
Hard Disk Capacity 160 Gb

Wouldn't Reccomend that gfx card, I have a 6600GT that i got for £35 from scan

Operating-System Windows XP Media Center 2005 <<<Xp Pro anyday (there are people who will say media center is pro + more, i just think it clogs up your comp unless your gonna use it for media

Optical Drive 1 Dual Layer DVD Re-Writer Drive <<<£15-20 from scan

Processor Type AMD Athlon 64 Mobile Processor 3500 <<<Can you even get Mobile Athlon 3500???
Software Titles Included Microsoft Works 8.0 <<< Not even the latest version of some crappy software, just bit torrent office 2k3

This Comp Very nice:

Just need an XP cd

NOT SURE IF THAT PSU WILL FIT IN THE uATX case, can someone check it out please

well, from what i understand, and correct me if i am wrong, its quite true, they say thats the quality of the images (pixels*pixels) will be with better quality, however, i dont think that the human eye can tell the deffrence between a max quality (when u see 1 picture that dont change) with even half quality of what a normal card can do, and the important thing is the speed of the memory, so u can see a lot of pictures (movie, game ect) fast.
tbh i think that to buy expensive card is just waste of money, but if u can see the deffrence, be my guest.

 

[Skyline]

Really going off the idea of build your own, as i cant build them!!


But i keep changing my mind, got about 2 weeks to decide!

The Pro 7300 any good?

 

[Perebble]

It's ok, there's a big jump in performance between the two on that page though.

You'd be better off using the extra £50 and getting the Conroe / 7600GT.

I was just sayin that Currys say the more memory on your graphics card the better it is, when it isnt really (if ya get me!)

And Skyline, buildin a PC is easy!
