It has come to that time to build a new computer from scratch and so far I have chosen the following:
C2D E6600 - £140.94
Either this board (
Gigabyte GA 945GM) which is only £42.89 or maybe one of the Gigabyte I965 board which come in at about £64 or so.
(link to them all)
The Power Supply - this one seems to have caught my eye (
Xilence 420W PSU) for £29.32
Now my question is really, which is a decent price vs. features/performance motherboard I should be looking at. I am not bothered if it is mATX or full size but must feature 4 x Memory slots (DDR-2). Not really bothered also about 2 x PCI-Express but over clocking might be good but not an area which I am into or have tried with much success.
Is the Power Supply for example good enough? At the moment I will be sticking in a Gegorce 7600GT but maybe later might upgrade as the need arises - what spec does the 8800 or ATI ones need for example?
Any help would be great, I would rather spend the extra money now then have sub-standard parts type thing.
