I am upgrading my old PC to the following specification (existing parts are in blue, new parts have their prices (including shipping) and suppliers).
Coolermaster Centurion 5
52x CD-ROM Drive
1.44" Floppy Drive
120mm Akasa Blue Fan
80mm Akasa Blue Fan
512MB DDR400 Matrix RAM
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice - Novatech £82.22
128Mb Connect 3D PCI-E X700 Tv/DVI - Scan £68.80
Gigabyte K8NMF-9 - K8 - Scan £52.88
425W Hiper Power Dual Fan PSU - Scan £35.12
Socket 939 AK-855-BL CPU Fan - PC World £12.99
I will be running a stock system (the possibility of overclocking does not exist). Are these components good enough to play games released recently at lower settings? Have I got the best prices for these components? Comments appreciated.
