First sorry for the long Note.
Getting bored buying retail PC with limited Upgades, so looking to
build my own (Uk Based). Never done this before so after many days
surfing PC site for rewviews and test results. With a buget of £1500
I,ve decided on the following spec.
Case - Antex Mini Tower Plus660AMG with 330W True Power PSU
Case Fans - 3*Akasa Amber Series 80mm (AK-182-L2B)
PSU - Antx NeoPower 480W ATX12V v2.0
Mobo - Asus P5GD2
CPU - Intel P4 530 3.0GHz SKT lGA775 with HT Tech
CPU Heatsink/Cooler - Zalman CNPS7700-Cu
Memeory - 2*Crucial 512MB 240 Pin DDR2-533 (CT6464AA53E)
VGA - Sapphire Hybrid Radeon X700 Pro PCI-E (256MB)
HDD - 1. Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA 80GB -Retail
2. Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 SATA NCQ 250GB -OEM
3. Future upgrade
DVD - Aopen DVD-ROM 16x (DVD1648/AAP PRO)
CD - Aopen CD-RW R52x,RW32x,ROM52 (CRW5232/AAO PRo)
FDD - Mitsumi 7 in 1 card reader with FDD (FA404M)
Speakers - Creative megaworks THX 2.1 250D
Wirless Card - Belkin 802.11g Wirless Desktop Card PCI (Owned)
USB2.0 card - Belkin USB2.0 5-Port PCI card (Owned)
Mouse - Logitech MX1000 Laser (Owned)
Keyboard - Logitech (Suggestion's Welcome)
Moniter - 19" CTR (Suggestion's Welcome)
Printer/Scanner - Owned
OS system - Windows XP - retail
The PC main use will be Gameing, not online just yet, some photo
editing, graphic design(AutoCad) and the usual surfing and word
processing. Looking to source componets from PC world Componet Center,
Overclockers UK, SavaStore and Dabs.
Would love some opinions on my components and anything I might have
missed and the retail sources.
Thanks for you thoughts.
