Lol do I sense rivalry brewing ;) I do like both specs...if I can find my XP disc & serial then I think I will probably plump for you one if I can but it's his money I guess ;) Neil

Thanks for the help guys much appreciated. I will put all the specs to my bro & see what he comes back with. The OS may be something we can look at elsewhere (I actually think I may still have an XP disc & serial which was on my old Desktop that blew up a year or so ago) but I do like the...

Evening ladies & gents, As per the thread title really peeps my bro is in the market for a gming rig upto £600 (inc VAT) but I've been away for far too long so not sure where to start looking. It will be mostly for FPS & a bit of DVD Watching. We already have... Monitor Keyboard...

Thanks for the help Jak :) Given me a good idea of what I need now :) Will have a look round then see what I can find in the Members Market first see if I can pick some bits up cheap ;) Thanks again it's been appreciated. Neil

Afternoon chaps, Need a cheap HTPC if poss. Got a max budget of £200. Dont need Operating Software & only need a small HDD as I have a spare at home (160GB) & also will be using an External 500GB USB drive as well so well covered for storage but would like a small (Say 40-70GB) drive...

Nope they are just psychic & knew your order was coming so picked it in advance :p lol

Thanks for the info guys, will have a look with my bro tonight then & see if he prefers one card over another. Thanks as well for the link to the monitor Melbourne. Thinking about it though bro does already have a 26" Phillips LCD TV that he might be able to use...I'm going to look at the...

Thanks for that Melbourne :) Will have a trawl through for a 20" monitor. Is there a specific 4850 I should be looking at?? Plenty there for around the same price as the 9800GTX but not sure if one model is better than another. Thanks again Neil

Afternoon all, Following on from my other thread about my brothers new £400 gaming rig... http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17909831&highlight=Brother+%A3400+Gaming He's just realised that OC now do 12 month interest free finance :D so he's come up with the idea of...

LOL well you didnt want them all to be easy did you??? Thanks for the help it's appreciated. Neil

What a great idea & just intime to build my brother a new gaming rig :) Will be ordering very soon :) Neil

Thanks for the spec Semi-Pro. I think if we cant find the parts second hand then I'm pretty sure I can stretch to lending him £30 for that machine ;) lol Will pass the spec on to him tonight & see where we go from there. Only other thing I'd need then is the OS which was something I...

Howdo chaps, My brother has just moved home following a split with his Fiancée & needs a new gaming rig to help spend his evenings while he gets himself back on his feet. He's a little broke right now hence the small budget of £400 :( He's after everything except Keyboard, Mouse &...

Consider it bought then...there's one in the MM which I'm quite tempted by at the moment :D Well tbh I havent gamed on a PC in about 2 years now so to me I dont think it will be a huge loss really & I dont honestly think my TFT will be upto really high res's anyway so as long as everything...

Thanks for the review snippet Flibby much appreciated. There is a fair difference in performance between the two cards in most applications thinking I may lean towards the 2900 now only down side is that extra power consumption but if you think it's ok with the 520w PSU then I think I'll live...

Thanks for that, Well I will add one of those PSU's instead then. Hmmm now there's food for thought, hadnt even considered the Nvidia cards will deffinitley look into the 2900 now then. Is there a big difference in perfomance between the two? Thanks again guys. Neil

I know which is why I've just ordered the Ram so I dont miss out on the Offer price :D As for the CPU I can happily stretch to the extra £14 if I drop the PSU down to the Corsair 520W ;) Only reason I specced the 700w one was because in the spec box for the 8800GTS it recommended 500w min...

Hey all, Well my parents are upgrading at home to a new laptop which means I can steal their old ATX size case, Monitor, HDD, Mouse & keyboard :D:D Now I've asked recently about some gaming rigs & never got round to buying them :( So have changed my mind slightly because I can get at their...

Thanks for the help guys it's much appreciated. Will have a look at his PSU when I go round there during the week. I think though it will just be a VERY basic ATX PSU so not expecting much above 320w if I'm lucky so we may have to upgrade that as well for him. Will let you know what I...
