I am currently looking at building a new PC for gaming and perhaps also as a HD Blu-ray player for my TV. I will not be needing any peripherals but i might add things such as more USB ports and a soundcard later. I have already got a blueprint for my PC. I may at a later date SLi enable the PC with another graphics card.
My Budget is around £600 maybe slightly more.
Located in Lancashire but have good contacts all over England and i am willing buy online.
I am not re-using any parts from a previous build apart from my second hard drive which i might place in the machine as a slave drive.
I do not need a monitor because in the beginning i will use my TV. As for keyboard and mouse i will use cordless and will chose them nearer to the build time.
I have not bought any parts yet, this is the blueprint stage.
Here are my Blueprints;
intel core 2 quad q8200 2.33 ghz lga775 socket @ £152 inc. vat
4gb Ballistix 240-pin DIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 @ £55.19
ASUS P5N-D nForce 750i SLI Socket 775 PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard @ £100
Hard Drive: does not need to be bigger than 200gb though due to i have a slave 400gb but i would like it to be at least 7200rpm
512MB GEFORCE 9800GT PCI Express @ £120
OCZ Technology EliteXStream 800W Power Supply @ £100 (My calculations say this will be enough, correct me if i am wrong
)
This puts my build at £525 including VAT without the PC case or other extras.
Your pessimism/ optimism is welcomed, thank you in advance
