£500 = 750 euro

So i made you a config for this amount.

Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L 775 P43/ICH10 DDR2 € 83,15
Corsair 4GB DDR2 6400 SDRAM,4-4-4-12 DHX (2 x 2GB) € 87,50
Samsung 320GB SATA II 7200rpm 16MB € 45,60
Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 2x4MB Boxed € 164,80
Asus EAH4850 512 MB HTDI DDR3 HDTV 2xDVI HDMI PCIe € 175,40
LG DVD 16/52 (zwart) € 13,90
Samsung SH-S202J DVDRW 20x Zwart € 20,00
Trust Media Connect Kaartlezer 5,25" CR-3600 (zwart) € 19,30
Zalman CNPS7500-Cu LED S478/775/754/AM2/939/940 € 43,70
Antec Nine Hundred EU ATX (zwart) (geen voeding) € 97,00
Totaal (excl. BTW): € 620,14
BTW 21%: € 130,21

Totaal (incl. BTW): € 750,35

I'm sure there are people here who can tell you where you can buy these parts cheap.
Cose i think pcspecialist is quite expensive, looking at their prices!

No assembly costs are included here! But i'm sure you can get some help from one of your friends or one of our community members!

£616 inc VAT and Delivery (or take off 80 without the PSU)

Don't think i can do external links to the exact build... but worth a go.

thanks for all the suggestions guys, im suprised at natasha's, didnt think i could get all that for £500, can you tell me the site you got the prices from and if they deliver to the uk?

Bahamut · 02-10-2008, 01:13 PM

if you're ordering a PC from abroad then dilvery will cost a rediculous amount

alba · 02-10-2008, 02:10 PM

yes i know that but i didnt realise buying the parts seperately would be so much cheaper.

Security · 02-10-2008, 03:09 PM

lol it's allot cheaper.

Mobotherboard - Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe

I have this board and its one of the best AM2 boards around and the reviwers LOVE IT

Link : Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

£83

Graphics - 8800GT SLI

The 8800 GT may be getting on now but when there in SLI they still hang with the big boys!! And there power requirements are perfect for your PSU!!!

Link : Asus GeForce EN8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Price for Both £188

Memory - OCZ 2GB package

Decently quality memory thats nots to cheap and is also not to expensive, order 2 sets for the 4GB so that you have enough for the future

Link : OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)

Price for 2 sets ( 4GB ) £64

CPU - AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz

Alot of people sniff at these CPU's for being 'slower' then an core 2 duo and there right, core 2's are indeed faster BUT when it comes to bang for buck the core 2's just cannot compete. I use an Overclocked AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+ and to get the same performance from a core 2 duo i would have to have spent DOUBLE what i paid for the the AMD 5600+. With the 6000 there is also room for overclocking which the Asus motherboard that i have recomended can do

Link : AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail

Price : £66

Total : £401

Thats minus delivery but you would money left over for odds and sods like a better CPU cooler, case, fans etc etc etc... If thats too much just take out one of the 8800GT's

That is one powerful rig and you would be hard pressed to get one as fast especially with those 2 8800GT's in there. Not to mension when it comes to game playing it would knock natasha's system into last week

Security · 03-10-2008, 11:05 PM

lol the Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe, 2x 8800 GT's in SLI and the AMD 6000+... why don't you tell him to buy the same rig as I have right away?

natasha · 03-10-2008, 11:28 PM

Damn you security!
I was typing exactly the same thing! ^^

Thats also my rig

Although i have a 5600+ and not a 6000+

8800GT'S in SLI are pretty untouchable TBH.

No single card under £250 can touch them and at times they even match or beat a 280GTX!!!!!!

I love my 8800GT's

Might get a phenom though, only a low end one then OC it to an inch of its life
