Tweak my build

Deathrow · 07-18-2007, 02:46 PM

Hey guys, alot of you have probably answered my questions recently about building a new pc as Im not up-to-date (still stuck in agp, ddr1, winXP times, lol)

Anyway I was goin to purchase a pc from Mesh however it didnt feel very customised. So I've built this pc, I am from the uk so please dont recommend any American sites. Now I could do with some help in either improving the build (eg theres a better psu for the same price as one I've listed) or where I can save money (eg the 680 motherboard has features I wont use so the cheaper 650 would be a better alternative).

My budget was £1300, which this pc costs around £1600.
Thanks in advance.

The build

Say looking at these motherboards, I'm a little confused to which will suit my needs?

XFX NForce 650i Ultra Motherboard
or
XFX NFORCE LT 680I SLI
or
XFX NFORCE 680I SLI

I cant really tell the differences, along as it will work with what I have and protential to upgrade my memory to 4GB and to get another 768 Geforce 8800 GTX
