Ok havent posted in a while, been searching for a bloody job... oh and of course getting my boogy on at glastonbury
A mate is hoping to get some money back from his alienware laptop because he has been constantly screwed around by the customer services and the laptop itself is broken. Should be somewhere in the region of £1200 for the budget... may be some wiggleroom here though.
Iv priced up a few things around this price but with so much to play with its hard to come to a conclusion.
There isnt any DEFINATE guidelines really but here is a rough one
19" widecreen monitor (if bigger can be made without sacrificing too much then yeeeaaaaah!)
Very fast graphics card (as good as possible without sacrificing too much else plz)
500GB minimum HDD space (dont think any raid systems are really worth it but let me know what u think)
Sata DVD drive
C2D (obviously)
The only parts which he actually has is a keyboard and mouse
The main thing that i was in question about was wether to go DDR3 + quadcore? Maybe get a dual DDR2+3 Board and go DDR2 + dualcore for now... allowing beffer gfx/monitor
on scan i got about £1260 with
ati HD2900XT (Have these proved themselves worth anything yet?)
Q6600
2GB DDR3
Gygabyte p35 mobo
2 x 320GB samsung spinpoints
random aluminium case @ about £70-80 (reccomendations would be great for case)
Tagen PSU @ 580w (will this be enough?)
19" daewoo monitor
Then after a rejig for £1210
Nvidea 8800GTX
Lg 22" monitor
E6600
2gb DDR2 1066
dual DDR2/3 mobo
What do ya reckon?
