Hi,
I'm looking to put together a new PC. The main aim is that it is upgradeable for the next couple of years or so. It will mainly be used for general web browsing, Photoshop work, and some gaming. i already have a monitor, so I don't need to factor that in and my budget is in the region of £550 (including OS).
I must admit, I haven't done a great deal of research at this point and I am somewhat out of touch with the latest kit around at the moment, but I have had a stab at what looks to be a reasonable setup:
Mobo: Asus P5N-E SLI NF650i SLi - £55
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 - £109
Mem: 4GB (2x2GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2 (PC2 6400) - £54
HDD: 250 GB Western Digital WD2500AAKS Caviar - £35
GPU: 512MB Leadtek 9600GT - £92
Case: SilverStone TJ04B - £75
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-S203D/BEBN - $15
OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1* 64Bit 1Pk - £110
Total = £545 (approx)
Any recommendations would be appreciated, particularly on the mobo, mem and GPU. Lastly, I have a 400W Enermax PSU in my current setup. Would this be enough to drive the system above or equivalent?
Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.
