Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a new gaming PC to replace my current one: XP2200, 512MB, ATI X800Pro.
I'm not going to overclock with it (never really done it before) but I do want it to be as quiet as possible.
Here's what I've bought so far (I stuck an order in as soon as I saw the E6400 was available!):
£61.95 x 1 - Tagan TG530-U15 530W ATX2.01 Easycon SLi Compliant Modular Silent PSU (CA-008-TG)
£42.50 x 1 - Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-018-SA)
£51.95 x 1 - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition inc. SP2 - OEM - 1Pk (N09-01528) (OS-001-MS)
£5.95 x 1 - OcUK Value Floppy Drive - Black (HD-001-OK)
£15.95 x 2 - AcoustiFan DustProof Quiet 120mm Fan - 3 pin (FG-005-AF)
£139.95 x 1 - Intel Core 2 DUO E6400 "LGA775 Alendalle" 2.13GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (CP-137-IN)
Total: 403.21
So that leaves the mobo, memory, graphics card, HSF, case and CD drive. How does this look? :
