Another new build thread!

Pacifico

Hi all,

I'm hopeing to build a new PC in the next few weeks, and was wondering if i could get some opinions on this spec?

AMD 64 X2 4200 , 1MB cache
Asus A8R Mobo
2GB Crucial Ballistix (PC 4000) I know it'll only run at PC3200 speeds, long story
Tagan Easycon 430W
Cooler Master Centurion 5 Black/Silver

Any opinions on the above? Not sure about the Mobo and also i need a graphics card around the €250 mark, preferably ATI. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

The ATi's have dropped in price on overclockers.co.uk

AMD have launched their AM2 socket now, so it may be wise to consider that, so you're open to upgrades in the future. It also uses DDR2 RAM, so it will change all your components.

X2 4400 would be better

I'd go for a beefier power supply if you plan on overclocking or running crossfire. 500+ at least

Cool i'll take a look on overclockers.co.uk.

Re: The AM2. I heard it wasn't all that great tbh. With the only main difference being the DDR2 support. I allready have a gig of Ballistix ram which i would like to use on the new machine

X2 4400 would be better

Indeed it would be

But it's an extra €130

I dont plan on running crossfire. Wouldn't mind trying a small overclock though, i'd like to have modular connections, which is why i chose that one

You this PSU would strugle with this setup?

Thanks for your replies so far

Jammer

Yeah, no major gains ATM besides faster ram, but if you want to upgrade in 12months time...

awhir

will they be bringing new procsseros out for am2 or just stay with the 1s they av.
