Right well, I have to decide between two systems. Trying to make a budget gaming system for under £750.
Shuttle SN25P-------------------------DFI Lanparty Nforce 4 Ultra-D
Athlon64 3200+------------------------Athlon64 3200+
2x512MB Crucial DDR400 (value stuff)---2x512mb Crucial DDR400 (value stuff)
XFX Geforce 6600GT 128MB------------Gigabyte 6600GT 128MB
NEC ND-3540A Black OEM--------------NEC ND-3540A Black OEM
--------------------------------------Tagan 480W PSU
--------------------------------------Asetek Waterchill KT12A-L20/220V
--------------------------------------ASUS TM-250 Case
Total £710.01(with XPsp2)------------Total £735.70(without XP)
Firstly, that RAM isnt overly rubbish is it? It should handle quite a bit of gaming and 'maybe' some small overclocking.
Secondly, will both these systems be suitable for new and upcoming games like FEAR and Battlefield2?
Thirdly, does active armour (not included with the SN25P) do anything important?
And lastly, which of the two would you prefer sitting on your desk at home?
HDD shall come from the system i have already and i can get the soundcard too from the one i have now but i suppose the Envy24 chip the shuttle has shall suffice. I hear it is actually pretty good.
I prefer the SN25P but thats only cause i think it looks pretty cool and also can be improved more and still be less than 750.
Thanksing you
