My brother needs a PC to play Champ Man

[wedge22]

OK my bro has a crappy e machines pc that will not even run Championship Manager. Can you build him a new one for less than £200, we can use the monitor,keyboard,mouse,speakers, and 2xcd drives he already has. I was thinking of buying the parts you suggest and making it for him as a Christmas present.

Case inc 420W power supply:

Sempron 2400+ inc HSF:

Asus A7V600-X (onboard audio)

512Mb PC2700 DDR RAM:

£210

Hope this helps.

btw. That case is very cheap, but is recomended as good value, and looks good, which is ideal for a present I thought.

I'd go for nforce2 board (nf7) with the sempron, 512MB pc3200 RAM and 128MB 9550 .....

Sorry i haven't got time to price it up properly, but check out ebuyer mate.... tbh I'm cheap so I'd get stuff from forums

Thanks for your suggestions guys I will have to see what I can come uo with. I guess I could use my spare Lian Li case and enermax psu for this pc too.

Is he going to play Football manager? That is the new CM!

[wedge22]

Well he may well play football manager I assume that it still does not need an amazing PC

[wedge22]

Oh my god!
My brother has just told me the specs of his pc,

600Mhz Celeron
196Mb ram
15Gb Hdd
Gfx??
Windows Millenium

Its so bad that he cannot even install XP.
I am sure that anything i build him will be better than his current pc.
