Just ordered my new 'super budget' computer.

[99tollap]

Here are the specs:

Msi 945p Neo 5-f motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo, E2160 1.8ghz
1.5gb of ram (from my old pc)
160gb hard drive
Cheapish case with 400w psu
DVD RW (from my old pc)
Vista
19in w/screen tft (from my old pc)

All this cost me £157

When it comes out ill add an 8800gt 512mb

One question, does anyone know anything about the motherboard? Specifically its overclocking ability, because I bought it hoping to overclock the hell out of the cpu (its got serious headroom). I want it to get to at least 2.6ghz. If its a poor overclocker im a bit screwed- that cpu is not great at stock speeds...

MSI boards are usually okay overclockers, getting 2.6 may be attainable. However I recommend buying a proper PSU before attempting to overclock. With the price of ram, I'd recommend running 2x 1GB DDRII 667 at a minimum as well.

Changed the motherboard to a Gigabyte GA P35 S3 now.

Bit more expensive but should be worth it.

Im going to get the ram eventually...
