Opinions please on build

mad m

A mate of mine asked me to post here and value the opinions on here...

APLUS Case Qubic, Black Midi tower (Without PSU) 309319
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz Socket LGA775, 4MB, BOXED w/fan 323014
ABIT AB9 QuadGT, P965, Socket-775, GbLAN ,ATX, 8xSATAII, DDR2, Firewire, PCI-Ex16 322633

Crucial DDR2 BallistiX PC6400 1024MB CL4 ,2.1V, 128Megx64, 240pin, 800mhz, E.P.P

EVGA GeForce 8800GTS KO ACS3 320MB GDDR3 , HDCP, PCI-Express, 2xDVI-I, 320bit 330522

All om Komplett....at €961 but he trying to get this down to around €800....

Anti

looks good to me, To cut down on money get a E4400 and drop the 8800gts to a 8600gt and up the ram to 2gb.

But otherwise looks fine to me.

Thanks will do....Looking at system also I reckon he forgot about a Hd and an OS.....:rolleyes:

Would an AMD system be cheaper to build?

SwampThing

personally, I'd drop the cpu no lower than a 6320, leave the ram at 1GB and maybe consider the gfx anti suggests. the 6320 has mb cache - the 4400 has a 2mb - might be too much of a drop?

I think you could compromise on getting 2GB now - it's a cheaper upgrade later to add a gig of ram thatn change the processor.

With the same Tower&Psu above and a 8600gt,seen this Link

Comes in at €784 with a 250gig Hd also....But still no Os,so with Vista Ultimate Oem its €963....Hmm scrap that Vista Ulimate seen Premium Oem for €97 and it comes in now at €882...
