Looking for new pc.

[blazer]

Ok my mam said she will buy me a new pc at price range of £300-£600

I have a Nvida geforce 8800 so graphics aint a problem, I will post which type is tho. It would be good if pc you find has SLI and another 8800

I have a 120gb hard drive also.

I don't know most of specs for pc as i 15 and still learning about pc

I am UK so no American ones that don't do over sea delivery



Sorry bout spelling had 8 cans down me so far .

Ok, I'm assuming you are building this yourself, as it will be alot cheaper if you do.

Here is a list I quickly made, it has the base components, but I'm assuming you will be reusing your old moniter, keyboard and mouse.


Asus P5QC iP45 Socket 775 Motherboard - £103.44

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz - £126.44

Kingston 4GB PC2-8500 HyperX (2x2GB)- £49.39

Thermaltake TR2 RX W0146 450W Modular PSU - £45.99

Antec Twelve Hundred Ultimate Gamer- £121.68

Creative SoundBlaster Audigy SE 7.1 OEM- £22.60

Out of £600, this will leave you with £131.46 leftover, which can go towards a new moniter and such.

If you don't think you can build one yourself, don't give in and buy from a popular manufacuter like Dell, just pick up and book or read online how you can build a computer yourself, as it ALOT cheaper than buying direct from a brand and usually alot better for the price.

Oooo, I wouldn't get a Quad Core for the sake fo getting a Quad Core. The Core 2 Duo I chose has a 3GHz clock speed when compared to the Q6600's 2.4GHz.

I guess your right about the case, but hey, the Antec 1200 is the best case around.

If his budget is that low, it would be stupid to spend that much money on a case. Top priority is always CPU + GPU (and cooling obviously, but any Antec case is good enough - and buy a fan for £10 for the CPU) I recommend you buy a Q6600 and clock it to 3.0 ghz (I clocked mine to 3.2 with a shit cooler, but still it stays less than 40 degrees)

If you don't have enough money to get the Q6600 I suggest you wait. Buying the E8400 instead of Q6600 now is like buying a 8800GT instead of an ATI 4870.

And Xyloxi why would you get a quad core "for the sake of getting a quadcore"? Nobody gets a quad core just because it's a quad core, and even though it's (only) 2..4 Ghz it has 4 cores, and as I already mentioned, this one is very easy to clock to a good stable 3.2 Ghz (at least) which will make your CPU as good and as worthy as a CPU for £400 (I take it you don't know a lot about PC's so that's why I compare in prices and not specifications)

Cheers all i will be looking at them.

I agree I made a mistake recommending that case. But I have to admit I was tired last night and proberbly wasn't thinking to clearly and no wonder I chose a case I knew off the top of my head. Just ignore the case recommendation please.

Ok, just read this Link to Tom's Hardware and I guess that they are pretty much the same, except that the Q6600 has a wider range of it's processing power, as it excels in the Video/Image editing area where the E8400 doesn't.

I was just saying that KS gave no reason for picking the Q6600 over the E8400 other than "your getting a quad core." Anyways, both of the processer are easy to overclock, as it has been proven that the E8400 can go up to 4.4GHz without Water Cooling here.

Also thanks for assuming that I don't understand the specifications and I can only relate to prices.
