Hello, I just wanted to get the thoughts of you guys on a build I'm buying for a friend. He has a budget of £1700-1800. Here's what I have so far:
Scan
Monitor: 20" Viewsonic VX2025WM £273
CPU: Core 2 E6600 £210
Motherboard: Asus P5B-Deluxe WiFi £130
Case: Antec P180 Black £91
PSU: 600W Seasonic S12-600 £90
DVDRW: Pioneer DVR-111 £24
Cooling: Freezer 7 Pro £17
Sound: OEM X-Fi Extreme Music £55
HDD: 320Gb Seagate 7200.10 £68
Plus numerous peripherals (mouse, speakers OEM etc.) that come up to about £180
Total from Scan: £1150
For the RAM I'm going to get him 2Gb of the Adata stuff that won the Labs in CPC for £250.
How does this look?
This leaves me with about £300-400 to spend on a graphics card, but of course, this presents a problem. Do I stick a 256Mb 7600Gt in there for now and get a G80 when they come out for him? Or do I just put a 7950GX2/X1950XTX in so he can play the latest games at full eye-candy?
I'm leaning towards the latter, but I could do with another set of heads to bang together. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Karl
