Turophiliac Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 links to the parts would help in choosing better components while keeping costs down. it looks like a great build though, i don't really have any suggestions for improvements... what is your budget btw?

Comp Dude2 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Pretty sure you can save a few quid on that PSU, i found them that particular one rather unnecessarily pricey. I'd put the money towards a bigger hard drive. Also what speed is that ram? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moroz123 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Budget is about 1300 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comp Dude2 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 The OCZ 600W GameXtreme, but i dont know where you are buying from so can't link you (dont know many continental computer shops) PC2-8500 is great, and will allow you plenty of overclocking room.

rycm86 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Solid build. Maybe you could add an extra HDD and run raid?haha. Depends on you budget though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rycm86 Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 600w would be enough, but I will suggest 700-800w. Its better to be safe and not stress your PSU too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
