You may have seen my other thread, but regardless, my budget is £400.
For £299 i can get the following pre built.
OS:
windows 7 premium 64bit
Case
Standard Easypc Case with 450W PSU
CPU
AMD Athlon II X2 X240 AM3 45nm 2 x 2.8ghz
Memory
4gb Kingston DDR2 800Mhz (System Max 4gb)
Storage
250GB SATA II Hard Drive
Optical drive
Sony Optiarc 20X DVD+-RW Dual layer Drive This will also play and record CD/CD-RW (all in the same drive)
Motherboard
Asrock AM3 N68-S
6 Channel surround sound output
Connections
2 x Front USB
4 x Rear USB
1 x PS/2 Keyboard
1 x PS/2 Mouse
1 x COM
1 x VGA
4 x USB2.0
1 x LAN
3 x Audio
Supports RAID 0‚RAID 1‚RAID 5‚RAID 10
Expansion Slots:
1 x PCI Express x16
1 x PCI Express x1
2 x 32-bit PCI
Intergrated Graphics (default)
Integrated Nvidia Geforce 7 graphics with up to 256mb of shared memory
Which leaves me £100 to get a graphics card and fit better cooling.
Would you recomend this route, and if so do i need to change anything else for this to be useable as a budget gaming PC.
alternitavly i can get a quad core AMD for 350, but that only leaves £50 for everythign else, including a graphics card.
