Hey guys,
I have built a fair few PC's over the years but not that recently (the last I built was an AMD3400+). My father has asked me to build him a PC for £600 (already have keyboard + mouse + software). The PC will primarily be used for the standard stuff, surfing, e-mail, MSN etc. He is also a keen photographer and likes taking alot of pictures and videos. Below is what I have managed to decipher as a decent build from a days research or so:
Antec NSK4400 Mini Tower Case - 380W SmartPower PSU £46.99 inc VAT
Abit AB9 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £72.84 inc VAT
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.20GHz (800FSB) - Retail £93.99 inc VAT
Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C5 Dual Channel Kit £52.86 inc VAT
Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB 5000AAKS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM £66.96 inc VAT
Asus GeForce EN7600GS Silent HTD 256MB DDR2 HDTV/DVI (PCI-Express) £46.99 inc VAT
Samsung SH-183LBEBN 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer Serial ATA Lightscribe ReWriter £19.96 inc VAT
Samsung SM-931BW 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Silver/Black £164.49 inc VAT
Subtotal £495.92
£562.71 inc VAT
I have a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium already. I know the graphics card isnt great, but its silent and from what I can gather its Directx10 compatible so should have no problems with the Vista GUI. Any thoughts welcome, I have a fairly decent knowledge of overclocking so as long as your not suggesting water cooling or something i'm all ears! Thanks in advance.
