I am stuck
Ive put together a new build and it comes to £412 over here.
However on Newegg.com it comes to £363(once converted) Specs: Core 2 DUO E7300 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150186 2GB PC2-6400 RAM http://crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspe...8789CEA5CA7304 SEAGATE 250GB SATA 8MB CACHE http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131300 LG DVD DRIVE http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145869 PSU http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124922 ASUS P5QL PRO http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?W...TA+RAID%2c+ATX PALITVISION 9600GT http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?W...VI-I%2fS-Video Now. Is it possible to make a gaming system with similar spec thats under £400 (IN UK) or under £300(once converted from USA) ???? Thanks. |

Pretty good list. Drop the 'Arctic Power' power supply though. I've never heard of it. You should be able to find something from our Good list: What Power Supply should I get? How many Watts? Who made it? Guide Inside for a resonable price. Antec Basiq units are good for the low price.

Forgot to ask... do you already have a case to house all of your components? How about I/O devices, display, and etc?

Here is a build list with performance close to that of the PC in your first list, but less expensive, however if you are going to use a monitor with a larger screen size than 19inch, you'll want to get a 9600GT or 8800GT with 512MB:

That doesn't seem bad.
I do want a new case though and I have a perfectly good monitor with speakers built-in that came with my pc. How do Overclockers come out cheapest when they are more expensive for everything? Last edited by tomtoon; 11-02-2008 at 04:47 AM. |
