A mate of mine has asked me to price him up a PC for a maximum of £600. He doesn't need monitor, keyboard, mouse or speakers, but needs the case and everything that goes inside. He's also got an IDE 80GB HDD which he wants to use as storage so may not need a 'huge' primary HDD.
I was thining
MSI K8N Neo4 F Socket 939
Athlon 64 3500 Retail
Corsair TwinX1024 PC3200C2PT (2 x 512MB)
DiamondMax 9 120GB SATA
NEC ND-4550A DVDRW Black
XFX 6600GT 256MB PCI-E
All that lot comes to around £525 but need to add a case and psu.
Would the above spec be worthy of recent games?
Any suggestions for case and PSU. I've got an Antec Sonata with a 380w True Power psu that I don't use anymore which I could throw in for £40, would that PSU be man enough?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
