No, I haven't come over to the dark side!
Diddums was giving some advice for my son who wants to build a gaming rig for ~£800 inc Win7 but excluding keyboard, mouse and monitor. As we all know, Dave has his own problems at the moment so I was wondering if some of you guys could make some comments or suggestions on the following spec:-
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor £79.99
CPU Cooler:Noctua NH-U12P SE2 54.4 CFM £49.88
Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 ATX AM3+ £129.00
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 £62.13
Storage:
OCZ Vector Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk £86.98
Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive £83.99
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 3GB £187.58
Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 ATX Mid Tower Case £71.31
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply £54.68
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer £12.74
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) £65.99
Is the Windows 7 in 64bit overkill? Any other observations welcome
