New Budget Gaming PC Build

[Brevik]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of ordering this spec from Yoyotech and was wondering if this all looks OK, particularly whether the memory will work with the motherboard?

Abit IP35 Intel P35
Intel Core 2 Duo E4400
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 2GB Kit
Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 250GB SATA 2 7200RPM Hard Disk Drive
Microsoft Windows XP Home OEM
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
Coolermaster iGreen 500W ATX Active PFS Powersupply

+ Case

I already have a decent enough graphics card (7900GTO), but will also be ordering something like a 7600GT to go with the current PC that I will be selling on.

The new PC will be used for gaming primarily (ET:QW, STALKER, COD4), and I would like to try overclocking at some point.

I was also wondering if there were any plans to have the Centurion 5 cases back in stock and if not would the case and fans below be a suitable alternative?

Antec NSK6000 Super Midi Black/Silver Tower Case
2 x Arctic Cooling 92mm Fan

My total budget is £550.

Any advice would be much appreciated, especially if you think I should be looking at any alternatives.

Regards,

Brevik

All looks good to me - but why not get Vista??

He's right to get xp imo.

You would do better with a case that uses 120mm fans..even something like an akasa zen for about £30.

As far as I know those power supplys are quite noisey and not that great. Something like a 430w seasonic silent jobby for £35 with be good for your system.

i'm currently using coolermaster iGreen 500w.
i have no problem with it.
iGreen has the best efficiency as i know. higher efficiency cause the psu have lower heat. which means fan turn slower = more quiet.

the noise which made from my system now is the cooler really. i don't really hear the noise from PSU. i may replace to water cool in a short time.

does anyone has any suggestion on water cooling? i want easy set up.

i'm also using Vista in my system. not found any problems so far.

Coolermaster Centurian cases will be in next week some time , dude

[Brevik]

Thanks guys, the advice/comments much appreciated.

Just a toss up between the cases now.

i think you should wait for Centurion 5.
it is budget on price. but NOT budget on qaulity.
i personally not using this case. But i been to a AMD show a few month ago.
AMD use Centurion 5 case as their show system. so i just had deep look by that time.
