Firsty, hello to everyone from a new member. I have spent hours on this excellent forum researching components for a new system that I will be putting together. I have shortlisted the following components and would appreciate comments.
Here are my requirements:
- A very quiet system
- Reasonable FPS on Flight Simulator 2004 at around 1280 resolution
- I will also be doing the odd video capture from my DV camcorder
- Editting pictures from my Canon digital camera
- I am looking for some painless upgrading capability (CPU, graphics card)
- I need Wi-Fi
- I want to overclock the system but not to extreme levels!
- My budget is around £1000.
Here is my proposed system.
- Antec Sonata Mini Tower
- Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 NForce 4
- AMD Athlon 64 3200 32/64Bit CPU S939 Winchester 90nm Retail
- 128MB Gigabyte GV NX66T128VP - GF6600GT
- 200Gb Maxtor Plus 10 (7200rpm,8MB) SATA NCQ
- TwinMOS PC3200 DDR-DIMM 1024MB Dual Pack Kit
- MX5020 2-piece wall-mountable speaker system
- Gigabyte 108mbps SuperG Wireless PCI Card (GN-WPEAG)
- 19" LG1915S Silver, 15pin D-sub, 12msec, 500:1, 250 nits, 1280 x 1024
- Thermalright XP-120 (no fan supplied)
- Akasa Ultra Quiet 120mm (for heatsink)
The reason for the 2.0 speaker system is space - the ones I have chosen are wall-mountable and sound very good. This system comes in at around £1000 (mostly purchased from Scan, memory + heatsink from Komplett, case from Simply). I'll be re-using the MS optical mouse, MS keyboard, LG GSA-4120B dual-layer DVD writer and Saitek Cyborg Evo Force joystick that is currently connected to my laptop.
Cheers,
Taz
