1. ill have a look at that msi, probs will go for that though
2. yeh i saw u mention the x3 in some other threads, i just worried about the 95w tdp, compared to like 50 on the dual core. its mainly a gaming rig so should outperform the x2 240 even with the low cache?
3. i guess it just depends on whats cheaper really,
iirc amd work better with low latency than higher bandwidth so ddr2 would be better yeh?
ill try abd get a 4gb kit from ebay or here for £40 hopefully if not wil probs settle for 2gb
4. yeh they seem good probs get the corsair since they well eegarded.
5. yeh they were on my list so will keep eye out on here and the bay.
6.case is simple as ibprobs have a spare and if not we will get one if we order anythin online or go pcworld ha.
7. probs aim for new cause i dont always trust old drives
lol would u agree the f3 is the best drive to get?
8. drive is fine if the mobo has ide but if not ill just grab one on the cheap.
so will probs get mobo/psu/harddrive brand new and the rest second hand. how does all this sound then?
