Thinking of Getting This...

    Hi, thought I'd seek some opinions on a customised Komplett.ie system:

    Antec P180 Silver. Case.
    MSI P965 Motherboard.
    Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
    Corsair 4* 1GB RAM. (4GB RAM)
    GeForce 256 MB Graphics.
    320 GB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive.
    DVD +- DVD Burner.

    No: OS/Mouse/Keyboard/Screen.

    Total is about €1231, INCL Vat.

    It'll mainly be for PHP, Photoshop CS2, possibly 3D, etc. etc.
    Thoughts?

    Did you check the specs on the Barracuda, they're not meant to be all that good, komplett had a 400gig samsung for €145 the last time I was looking.

    The price seems a bit high for a medium spec machine, I suppose it'll mostly go on the processor -edit- Oh and the ram, is 4 gig needed?!

    Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz Socket LGA775, 2MB, BOXED w/fan
    POINT OF VIEW GeForce 7300GS 256MB DDR Turbo Cache, 550Mhz/405Mhz, PCI-Express

    Oh, I thought Seagate Barracudas were very well spoken of, I could look at Western Digital or Samsung I suppose then.

    As for 4 GIG maybe not, 2/3 would suffice, looking forward really, college you know. I was on a Dual Processor 3.2GHz P4, 1GB Ram, so I'd like to make quite a leap so upgrading soon isn't neccessry.

    You could reduce the amount of ram you want to 2 gigs and make sure it is dual channel that is to sticks of ram

    Looks good; personally, I'd go for an Antec P160 case (smaller) & make sure you get the OCZ PSU (only decent one I see there).
    The MSI P965 NEO-F mobo is €20 cheaper & has Firewire but no optical audio -- your choice.
    You are choosing the PC2-5300 and not the PC2-4200 RAM, right? :D
    (and finally) X1600Pro for an extra €33 isn't a bad upgrade; consider it.
