Building a new PC...
Hey Guys,
I am going to be building a new PC later in the year, as my laptop is absolutely crap at everything...
My budget will be in the region of £700-£800...
I was just wondering what components are the best in their price range, just as advice?
CPU: Im looking to spend no more than £175 here, im looking at the Phenom II X6 3.3GHz, the X4 3.4GHz, or the intel i5-2500k sandy bridge @ 3.4GHz) The intel is far more expensive so im not too sure, but AMDs new bulldozers are coming out soon, are they worth a look?
GPU: I dont know what to get here too much. Im looking to spend no more than £200 here, £220 if i have to, but im looking at the GTX 460 (and variations of it) or similar. It seems a solid GPU for the £160 price tag. Suggestions welcome on everything here too.
Case: Im not bothered about this, no point in spending too much on this. Having lights is pretty but not that important. I just want a good quality case, good room for cooling and air flow, and easy to get to components for upgrades.
RAM: I dont want to spend too much here, no more than £70 but i want 8GB very least, 12GB ideally...
Monitor: I want a 24" ideally (what size would you say is fine?) and an LED, but LED ones seem far more expensive than LCD. Whats the difference/are they worth the price? Ideally under £150 here.
Keyboard and mouse dont really matter too much.
Windows 7 64bit
Thats it really... (of course there are other things like the PSU and motherboard, but they arent what im worried about. But feel free to suggest these too and offer advice.)
So yeah, advice would be helpful and your opinions highly valued!
Ive even seen people building PCs for people, like finding all the parts in the price range, that would be welcome too!
Take note: Im from the UK, so no Newegg
Idealy Overclockers, Novatech, or sokmething like Amazon.co.uk
Thank you!
