Ok first things first.... I'm building a new gaming rig and I have an exact budget of £1200. I need a Case, CPU, MB, SATA HD, GFX, DVDRW, TFT, RAM, PSU and a Saitek Eclipse Keyboard....
Anyway so far heres what I have put together for £1000 excluding a TFT which if my a level maths serves me correctly leaves £200 give or take for a TFT.
MB Asus A8N-SLi Premium (scan) (pretty set on)
CPU AMD Athlon 64 3700 San Diego 1MB L2(scan) (pretty set on)
GFX edit: 256Mb Gigabyte 7800GT (scan) (pretty set on)
RAM 2Gb (2x1Gb) Corsair DDR400/PC3200 Value Select (scan) (pretty set on)
PSU 430W Tagan 2Force T430-U22 SLi U-Quiet 21db (scan) (not that set on)
HD edit: 250GB Samsung SpinPoint SATA II (scan) (fairly set on)
CASE Raidmax Ninja (xcase) (set on)
KYB Saitek Eclipse Keyboard (ebuyer) (really set on for sum stupid reason)
DVD edit:NEC ND-3540A Black 16x16 DVD±RW (scan) (set on)
Just wondering if you guys think this is good value/good choice/compatible etc
I need a TFT for this badboy, a black, DVI, low response timed, sexy, good value badass TFT. I was thinking about the 19" Digimates Specials from Aria but they seem ugly, and aint black. Hopefully the case, keyboard and monitor will all be black with nice blue illumination.
One last thing. I'm probably gonna overclock this thing in the future with a new HSF but only enough to get the 3700 matching 4000 clock speeds, will the Corsair Value RAM be up to it. I can't afford 2GB of Twinx. Also once 7800GTX prices are really low i'll SLI this bad boy up. I have a feeling that 430W will be fine: I'm not gonna have more than 1 HD and 1 DVDRW drive in this rig.
Thanks for reading![]()
