I'm building a new compter for running games, here's what I have. Tell me what you think;
Asus M4N68T-M LE V2 Socket AM3 DDR3 - £34.14
EXTRA VALUE 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz Memory - £30.18
Casecom Black Mid Tower Case - Front Blue LED 120mm Fan - £19.89
AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2GHz - £70.48
DESKSTAR COOLSPIN 500GB SATA-II, 3.5" 5400RPM - £30.11
LiteOn 24x DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Optical Drive - £11.99
MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone - £130
A copy of 7 Ultimate, retail edition - £73
Around £395, with free delivery and that includes VAT.
In the future I'll be upgrading that case to a more expensive, better one (or not, if it turns out to have good cooling and accessability). Not sure if I'm keen on that HDD, 7200RPM may be better... That processor should be more appropriate for gaming over my current 1.8 quad core, right? I will even OC it to 3.6, hopefully.
I'm not looking for a hardcore gaming rig. Call of Duty 4, Crysis, Sims 3 etc on medium settings at 1440x900.
