Hi,
I've decided to treat myself as my current pc is on its last legs, I'm looking for a new one somewhere around the £1,000 EXC VAT mark, ideally to last me a good few years. I'm looking for a machine that will cope pretty well with games, though I don't play much I like them to run well when I do! The other aim is for it to be quiet, I'll be sleeping with it on usually a few feet away, so some of the choices I have made are to keep it as close to silent as possibly whilst still performing. I've been out of the game a while but have spent a good few hours researching this, and here's what I've come up with:
Any comments or advice is welcome, I'm looking to buy this sometime next week, the prices I've got listed are the cheapest I was able to find, the Scythe Mugen 2 and Nexus Value 430 prices includes delivery, was pretty hard to track them down mainstream so they are ordered individually.Code:Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz 218.25 Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Intel X58 Express Socket 1366 Motherboard 136.71 nVidia GeForce GTX 275 896MB PCI-E 2.0 Ret 173.8 OCZ 6GB PC3-12800 DDR3 1600Mhz Platinum Triple Channel (3x2GB) 73.95 OCZ 120GB Vertex Series SATA II 2.5 SSD Solid State Drive 269.95 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F1 SATA2 7200RPM 32MB cache 61.95 Cooler Master Sileo 500 Black Silent Case 56.86 525W Enermax MODU82+ 68.68 Xigmatek HDT-S1283 25.99 Xigmatek Crossbow ACK-I7361 5.49
