Here is a PC i have just thrown together. I already have everything else, these are just the components i need now to complete the PC, and begin the build.
First off, is everything compatible, and secondly, is it a good spec? The prices are important, this little lot adds up to £350, and i don't really have the funds to top that figure. :(
This place is nearby to me, and cheap, so i will buy everything here, as i could only save a quid or two by buying from other places.
I'm not after a record breaking PC, just a rapid one, with reasonable performance. Graphics don't have to be great, as i don't play that many games, but dual screen performance is something to be used from time to time.
So, is there anything you would modify? No silly suggestions please. All advice is appreciated.
Oh, and what's the OCing potential here? :twisted: I know i mentioned that a powerhouse wasn't necessary, but just for a bit of a performance boost :mrgreen:
