My complete system

[TomWilko]

I have just completed the order for this system for my brother, opinions on how well it should perform and any pitfalls I need to know about would be much appreciated.

(First PC Build by the way)

• Asus A8N-SLI Socket 939 Motherboard - LINK
• AMD (Venice) Athlon 64 3500 with 512Kb Cache - LINK
• Kingston 1 Gb strip of PC3200 RAM - LINK
• OcUK GeForce 7800Gt PCI-Express SLI - LINK
• Seagate Barracuda 160Gb SATA - LINK
• Antec Sonata II Black with 450W PSU - LINK
• Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 2.1 - LINK

To go with this list is a copy of XP Pro and also, when running stable, another 1Gb strip of RAM to make the system up to 2Gb. Very shortly we will be adding a 17" TFT to the system, which will bring the overall cost to £1050 including delivery on everything.

How does this sound?

Not a bad total price that system will breeze any game with high details+res enjoy! oh and go for windows xp home if u dont use all the admin stuff in pro its not worth the extra money

Pro all the way mate, hate XP Home, think for what you pay you get something so sub-standard.

pretty all round system.. but a 17'' monitor is WAY too small to push anything in those 7 series PCBs...

Also, you might want to lose those Kingston for some Ballistix lovin..

Rubbery plasticky Sonata.. you either love it or hate it.. your choice.
