Hi
Time to build a new machine as mine is slow ( took ages to load latest Blackberry desktop) Don't play games, but my daughter plays a few kiddie ones. Main use is MS Office stuff, browsing and email.
Was going to go for an i5 based system as want to keep it for a few years before upgrading.
Intel Core i5 750, S 1156, Lynnfield £143
Prolimatech Megahalems Super 6 £45
120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1450 rpm £14
4GB (2 & 2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC3-12800 ( 1600) £80
Gigabyte GA-P55-US3L £83
Samsung F3 500GB £36
Samsung F3 500GB £36
Optical Drive £15
Graphics £130
Coolermaster CM-690 £52
525W Enermax MODU82+ £75
Total circa £710
Have got XP and will use till I get WIndows 7 from the US when I visit (soon).
Also is 4GB of RAM enough for Windows 7?
Need the machine to be super quiet.
Only open issue I have is the GPU - have budgeted circa £130 for it. Any advice on which to get?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Almost all of the above is available on Scan today only so hoping to close out before noon on Monday.
