Hey,
I am building a PC for my mate and here are the specs so far:
MOBO:
P5N-E SLI (I bet you heard that 1million times)
CPU:
Intel Q6600
RAM:
2GB DDR2 800MHz
CASE:
EV Gamer case (with PSU included...)
HDD:
500GB 7200rpm 16MB cache Samsung
OD:
Lightscribe 20x DVD/CD R+W
So now I have a choice to make... the graphics card and screen.
1). He will be using this PC primarily for gaming, which is why I chose a good processor and big HDD.
2). My total cost at the moment is £291.16 (GBP, which is 1/2 dollar).
3). The budget is anywhere in the reigon below £1000, please note I need a screen, speakers (although these will be £50-£100, sound card AND the graphics card, so no rediculously high prices graphics cards.
4). He asked me for good graphics.
5). Must be from http://www.ebuyer.com.
6). Must be 512MB+, I can have 2x 512MB cards or 1x 1GB, but I will let you guys (more experts than me) tell me if 512 or better etc.
Ok, it's a long list but to summ up, it's a graphics card costing up to £200, give or take, anything lower is excellent.
I have been looking at nVidia 9 series and GeForce 8, it must be nVidia.
For screens, currently I have chosen the Samsung 2243NWX 22" monitor with 1680x1050 300c/d 8000:1 screen, which is at http://ebuyer.com/product/145315, although I am open to suggestions on anything else, up to £200-£250.
I AM OPEN TO OPINIONS! I can change any of the specs at the moment, so suggestions are welcome!
POWER CONSUMPTION IS NOT A PROBLEM! I havn't yet chosen a PSU and I'll get anything good.
Thank you for your time! AND suggestions!!
Regards,
Charlie.
