Just thought i'd get a nice cheap thing to get the job as i aint a 'hardcore' gamer lol. Its a Hightech/HIS ATI Radeon 9550SE
128mb
GPU: 250mhz
RAMDAC: 400mhz
I was orginally going for an AMD Athlon XP 2500+, but every damn place i looked has sold out so i got fed up and got a Sempron 2800+ which is nearlly the same, just with a different name.
The cooler i chose is a cooler master which supports every processor up to an athlon xp 3200.
The PSU i chose is a Magna 500w
And the ram i chose is just 1 stick of Crucial 256mb - PC2700. I shall buy more once i get the money as i doubt i'll reach the 3gb limit lol.
I also recently bought £60 worth of case and mods. A super flower gaming case with a side window and built in fan. 4 extra 80mm fans. A super flower fan master. 2 cold cathodes. And some a that wierd EL wire stuff lol. So all together i'll have 6 fans
All together its only been around 200 quid...aint it cheaper when ya build it yaself
