TBH, You would possibly be better saving the money and just getting a x2 3800, you wouldn't notice a massive drop and would save yourself a packet.

[jonneymendoza]

wow i must say dats abit cheap 2 my surprise, u sure dats correct? the procerssor and your graphcis card alone cost nearly 1000...

[Spud1]

looks impressive to me i'd say keep the faster CPU, that way your future proofing a bit more

[unreal]

Yea I would say keep it all like that


No wait, I would order 2gb RAM. Seriously, I would, Battlefield 2 benifits greatly from it, and probably many games that are coming now too.

[lawrywild]

Looks good, try to get 2gb of crucial ballistix if you can though.

[saintdragon]

YEAH????????????

[saintdragon]

yes!

[genie_wt]

Looks good, I'd possibly substitute the Hitatchi hard drive for a Samsung one though, there quieter and smoother

I would stick to the 4200 at least, as for single thread gameing, you want a faster core.

The spinpoint, or a Seagate disk would be a good idear. I find that WD disks are verry good value, you can get a 250GB SATA 2 with 16mb of cashe for around £80 from scan.

2gb of ram would be a good idear, but you can alwase get that later.

Lastly, the motherbord. Go for an Asus A8N-SLI Delux, much better than the Abit, and it doesnt have a stupid name.

Nowt wrong with the ABIT but if he does go Asus then the SLI Premium is a far better board than the Deluxe.

Looks good to me but as the others said I wouldnt go lower than 2GB ram

...but the 3800 will run very very easily above the 4200 default clock (see below) and you can hit 2.7 with the right RAM. Big price drop and i'll third the idea of spending the spare cash on 2gigs - makes a heck of a difference to me in quite a few games now!

Not always as simple as that though - what if the chip can't do it? What if the cooling isnt up to it - that means getting a bigger hs/fan (and therefore more noise) or watercooling etc = more cost..
