Planning a gaming PC for £400 (1st build)

[Guest]

Hello. Im making my first system, a gaming system, to perform for HIGH graphics intensive stuff.

Ive got

Coolermaster 330 Case
700W Arctic Power (2 rails at 22A per)
Gigabyte AMD SLI Board
AMD Athlon 64x2 (6000+ @ 3.1ghz)
4GB OCZ RAM
Single 8800GTS (going to buy a second 8800GTS at a later time.)
500GB Something-or-other HDD 32mb cache (good make, forgot it though)
20x dvd drive (not added in the price, will use my old one).

I will be buying this around march, in total it costs £400 (without the second graphics card).

Any suggestions? Im sure in 3 months the next lot of CPU's and graphics cards will be around, and i can possibly choose the next tier up (eg 6400 AMD or maybe 6800)

Thanks.

u forgot to mention what resolution ur monitor is. makes a big difference on whether u'll be able to do "high graphics intensive stuff"

None of that would really produce a machine capable of good FPS gaming.

I doubt you'll be able to buy an 8800GTS in 3 months.

Come back and see us in March
