new to the forum :hiya:

my mate builds my pc's for me, but he's away so i cant pick his brain. Im looking to keep it under £600. What are your opinions of the below set-up?

CARD GE FORCE 8800 GTX £328.99
BOARD ASUS M2R32-MUP AM2 £58.10
CPU AMD CPU AM2 Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ £105.74
RAM Corsair Value Select 2Gb DDR2 PC5300 memory kit (2 x 1GB) £52.64

545.47

I know I still need a hard drive and other bits.

Any opinion and advice are welcome



Cheers Craig
 
Sounds ok, what you using it for?

I tend to have a new one every couple of years.

i want to play the odd game from time to time. Age of Empires, Lord of the Rings that kind of rubbish :thumbsup:

Surf the net and burn dvd/cd now and again.

Just wondering if im getting the right set up for the money and what other options i could look at, ie different set up for value or pre-built.

Any advice at all really as im not great with pc's
 
Dunno - spec sounds quite good for general use plus graphics card is fairly beefy

If it were mine i dont play much games so i'd probably get a cheaper spec graphics card for about £200?

sure someone else might have some suggestions
