Re: New PC Build

Re: New PC Build
 
So after editing the spec (graphics card, fan & modo) do you think its up to scratch?

looks like a good rig you got there, with regards to the PSU I would go for a modular system as its easier on the airflow in the system, also I would go for Vista 64bit instead of 32.

Re: New PC Build
 
Only problem with that though is X64 utilises more ram I would want at least 4 gig if that was the way I was going

http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=427440 still cheap though
