Yes, but is it good, and works with all my other parts? i think so, and if you agree i will get that.

Kornowski · 12-05-2007, 10:18 PM

Yeah, it's a lot better than what you have at the moment!

I'd get the Corsair RAM instead though, as I'm sure I've said before

I'm pretty sure it's compatable, (other opinions?)

Nah, it's not annoying, don't worry mate!

klaus5000 · 12-05-2007, 10:21 PM

It is annoying, i say the same things! But i want to get this right. And yes, if i get other opinions on the corsair ram i will get it

The build uses Corsair RAM by the way.

klaus5000 · 12-05-2007, 10:33 PM

Nah, trust me man, I was like this before I built mine it's daunting the fist time, it'll be Ok though!

I'm pretty sure the Corsair RAM will work

klaus5000 · 12-05-2007, 10:35 PM

What you think of that 600$ = £300 build?

Sorry for the delay. To answer your question quickly my build is much better than the one you currently have. For an easy comparison I went to the UT3 System Score Calculator and compared our builds. They didn't have parts as "low end" as the ones you've selected so I picked the next step up and still wound up with a score of 14.6. With your actual parts it'd be closer to 13 if not less. That's not too bad but if you're wanting to play newer games like Crysis you'll be in trouble. My build scored about 21.6 which is very, very good.

EDIT: For a bit more comparison, if you bought a $2000=1000 pounds computer you'd get a 24-25 on that calculator.
