Hi guys, I have my pre build list here, planning to buy of Friday. The price is racking up, however, - currently at £1,480 (£1510 with delivery) - all purchased from overclockers.co.uk (i'm in England).
I was just wondering if anyone thinks this is a bit over the top or could suggest any cost cutting tips? here is the build:
Corsair TX 750W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant PSU - £76
Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 3200 Laser (967688-0120) - £57
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail - £199
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.83GHz 12MB-cache (1333FSB) Processor - Retail - £217
2 X Samsung SM-2253LW Aqua 21.6" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Glossy Black - £340
Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4 Intel X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard - £146
Akasa AK-TK-01 Cable Tidy Kit - £5
Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD6400AAKS) - £52
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (66I-01939) - £70
Creative Inspire T6100 5.1 Speakers - OEM (51MF4085AA002) - £36
Antec Twelve Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - £105
2 X G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-8500C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK) - £152 (8 gig total)
Asus DRW-2014L1T 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter (Black/Silver) - Retail - £22
I need teh dual monitors, and want the 8 gig of RAM to keep the thing smooth. Also the CPU is cheap and i heard good for overclocking. The main thing I was thinking was teh MOBO and RAM. I don't know if i'll crossfire - may well do in the future, but i don't play crisis - only TF2 and some flight sim and RTS games....Spore...etc.
So can you guys see anything? My budget is f£1500 so please play around.
Many thanks in advance for the useful info - cheers lads
