    Re: any good from this pc

    AMD x2 270 is probably a small downgrade from a Q6600.

    I assume the HDD drives are SATA,so I would re-use them.



    I have included an SSD too.

    The parts are off Ebuyer,and you can get cashback:

    http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ebuyer/

    I would get this case:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Carb...0773344&sr=8-1

    You can get Nectar points on Amazon purchases too.

    So that is what you can build,if you can re-use a few parts too.

    Edit!!

    Get this RAM instead:

    Re: any good from this pc

    I looked at some prebuilt PCs for you.

    CCL Computers seem to have the best value for money ones:

    http://www.cclonline.com/product/102...C/CCL-EL-RAV2/

    http://www.cclonline.com/product/102...PC/CCL-EL-RAP/

    http://www.cclonline.com/product/102...PC/CCL-EL-TAL/

    However they all use motherboards with old chipsets. Here are some reviews of the £500 system:

    http://www.overclock 3d.net/reviews/...ng_pc_review/1

    http://www.vor tez.net/articles_pages/ccl_elite_raven_ii_review,1.html

    However,they use Corsair VS series PSUs which are rubbish.

    This Aria system is not too bad:

    http://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Gaming...roductId=53181

    But again a motherboard with an old chipset and the PSU is unknown.

    This OcUK system is not too bad:

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...85&subcat=2387

    Motherboard is another one with an old chipset,but it uses a good quality 400W PSU and OcUK probably could put a bigger PSU in there,if you ring them.

    It is also cheap enough for you,to add a reasonable graphics cards. I suspect a GTX660 or HD7850 would run fine off the 400W PSU.
