Gaming PC >£380

its just a general estimate, the E6300 draws around 150w at peak and the 7950GT draw around 80W meaning around 230w between them. That would leave 150w to run the rest which to be fair should be more than enough......
 
Personaly mate i would just save up for a better build.

yeah i know it would be nice to have a C2D system now but i think if you save and wait for a while it will be better in the long run.

Agree. As we all know about the price drop for intel CPU. The new GPU, and the problems cabability of Vista with softwares.

By the way, all of us haven't take account of if he has any OS......

It's pretty OK, do you have OS to run the PC?

I already have an OS, It's XP not Vista so no need to worry about anything not being compatable.

What do you think of the build I posted above?
 
for a budget pc that packs a damn good punch i like it to be fair. Yes you can wait for price drops but then when one comes around you end up waiting for the next price drop and the next one etc....

You'll at least have the base now to allow more upgrades in the future too. If at a later date you come into more money then you can sell your old GPU and get a higher rated one, same with all the other parts.

The build you've made is gonna run the majority of things at a high level rather nicely.

Bugs the crap out of me when i see things like this and the prices, start getting far too tempted to say sod it and buy the same thing myself :D

Thanks a lot :D

I thought it was pretty good considering a lot of people here have the same MOBO and the GFX is around what some people have, the XMS2 RAM is good and the E6300 aint bad either :P

Yeah, I could change a few things in the future when it comes to it, Think it'd be a while though if I get this.

Yeah, I hope it'll be Ok for a while more though and play some of the newer games.

lol, You'd be surprised if you do a bit of research the money you can save, I think I used Ebuyer and Novatech to build what I posted :D
