Final Build - Opinions
Hey Guys
I basically just want your opinions on my final build list which is set to be sorted in the easter holidays: Case: Thermaltake Tsunami Dream Black Aluminium Case No PSU http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...tml?TT-SDREAMB PSU: ENERMAX Liberty 500 Watt Modular Power Supply http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...html?ENE-EL500 Motherboard: ASUS P5LD2 P4 775 http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/Itemd...=P5LD2&eq=&Tp= Really do not know much about motherboards but this seemed to support everything which i wanted ( Any ideas?) CPU: INTEL P4 640 3.2GHz 800MHz 2MB 775 http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/Itemd...800640&eq=&Tp= Graphics Card: 256MB NVIDIA GIGABYTE GEFORCE 6800GS SLI http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/Itemd...0GSGIG&eq=&Tp= DVD-RW: LITEON 16X D/L RETAIL (SHM160P6) & BEZEL http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/Itemd...160P6S&eq=&Tp= Hard Drive: 160GB MAXTOR SATA2 8MB http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/Itemd...XSATA2&eq=&Tp= Keyboard Mouse: LOGITECH RECHARGABLE CORDLESS DEKTOP BLK http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/Itemd...HDTBLK&eq=&Tp= Operating System: Windows XP Home OEM With Service Pack 2 http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...tml?MS-WXPHSP2 Well that is my system i will be purchasing a monitor with it eventually but will be using my LCD TV in the mean time. If you can enter in your opinions on the components i have chosen, on compatability for example, it would be greatly appreciated. Also if you think it will play games such as F.E.A.R well or not at quite high settings? P.S Sorry about the GBP currency as i am from Britain, the choice of the computer orbit site is simply because it is near where i live and means access to easy returning Thanks again NUFC Last edited by NUFC_4_EVA; 03-13-2006 at 11:21 AM. |

for UK prices, try overclock.co.uk, i have got many a good deal from them. But most importantly, you havent got any RAM. Looking at your specs, you probably would be going for 1GB DDR2 ram. try crucial or corsair. I have had good experiences with corsair value ram, aswell as Kingston ram.

About the GeForce 6800GS ...
Currently the GeForce 6800GS is probably intended to compete with the new Radeon X1000 series, more precisely the Radeon X1600XT. Both products cost around the same dollar value, though when push comes to shove the 6800GS overwhelms the X1600XT in terms of performance. I think unfortunately, ATi decided to cripple the X1600XT by limiting it to a 128-bit wide memory bus. This really kills the Radeon X1600XT and gives the 6800GS a real fighting chance. |

Thanks alot for the overclockers website i have now finished a preliminary basket for the components which i want, they are relatively similar if not the same to the ones previously but means that i can get them all from the same place. Below are the components i am thinking of:
Mobo: Gigabyte 8I945GMF (Socket LGA775) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-050-GI) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aMB_2d050_2dGI Graphics Card: Gainward BLISS GeForce 6800 GS "Goes Like Hell" 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-027-GW) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aGX_2d027_2dGW Processor: Intel Pentium 4 640 "LGA775 Prescott" 3.2GHz (800FSB) with HT Technology - Retail (CP-093-IN) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aCP_2d093_2dIN RAM: Corsair 1GB DDR2 Value Select PC4200 Dual Channel Kit (2x512MB) (VS1GBKIT533D2) (MY-066-CS) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aMY_2d066_2dCS HDD: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10 NCQ 160GB 6V160E0 SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-091-MD) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aHD_2d091_2dMD PSU:Enermax Noisetaker 485W EG495AX-VE(G) SFMA ATX2.0 PSU (CA-007-EN) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aCA_2d007_2dEN DVD-RW: Liteon SHM-165P6S-09C 16x DVD±RW/RAM (Black) - OEM (CD-048-LO) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aCD_2d048_2dLO Case:Thermaltake VA3000BNA Tsunami Dream SuperMidi Aluminium Tower - Black (CA-012-TT) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aCA_2d012_2dTT Desktop Bundle:Logitech Cordless Optical Desktop Rechargeable Black/Silver - OEM (KB-058-LG) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aKB_2d058_2dLG Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition inc. SP2 - OEM - 1Pk (N09-01528) (OS-001-MS) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...aOS_2d001_2dMS Right there it is, the graphics card may be taken off later next week as at the moment it is only on a special and price may go out of my range by the time i want to purchase this basket. Otherwise i am open to any suggestions on compatability etc, thanks again guys P.S thanks for telling me about the RAM almost forgot that  NUFC Last edited by NUFC_4_EVA; 03-13-2006 at 02:10 PM. |

The only thing I'd consider changing is the motherboard - I really prefer Asus, I'd be looking at a P5LD2.
