Hey all.. Newbie Alert!
Its been a while since I've put a system together and after spending the last 2weeks trying to catch up, I think I have the makings of something pretty tasty?
Excuse the Ebuyer c&p.
Primarly a games machine and it'll eventually be hooked upto a 19inch TFT, so I want to be able to throw out high res at decent frame rates).
I'm too lazy to get into major overclocking, allthough I dont mind sqeeuzing a little extra out for free!
Total cost is gonna be £600. Sound about right? Any obvious bottlenecks I'm missing or a saving to be had somewhere(I'm cheap )
TIA.
