Hi again,

Another client wants a new machine. £900 fixed budget.

Preference for intel and nvidia. He doesnt game but does multitask with a lot of high end software like PS and occasionally 3d studio max. Ive picked all the parts. I just want people to suggest any tweaks and point out any possible compatibility issues and so on.


Case: Antec 900 - £75
PSU: OCZ Stealth XStream 600W - £60
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P iX58 i336 7.1audio ATX - £180
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz 8MB Cache - £207
RAM: OCZ 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz Triple Channel - £100
GFX: Zontac GTS250 512MB DDR3 - £83
HD: Western Digital 500GB SATAII 7200rpm 16MB Cache - £38
DVD: Sony AD-7240S 24x DVD +/- RW SATA - £17
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster SM2243NW 22" 1680x1050 - £120


Thanks

Jake

If he is a non-gamer, you could get away with a 9600GSO or something along those lines. There is no need to pick up a GTS 250. I would look to pick up a WD Black hard drive, either the 640GB or 1TB. A faster HDD will be better for his needs.

All your parts listed are compatible with each other. Everything should fit just fine together.
