"My PC... What do you all think?"

I have been looking to build my own PC for a while now, and only last week I set the funds aside (after discovering I can use a savings account) and that my Dad will go halves with me. I emailed around some of the shops in my local area to get a few quotes and after a few days I assembled (well in my head) exactly what I wanted.

The following is the spec of my PC (so far):

Descriptions:
1 off, BO03 ATX MIDI TOWER CASE 300W ATHLON/P4 PSU
1 off, 1.44MB 3.5" FLOPPY DRIVE OEM (mitsumi)

1 off, AMD Athlon2200XP+ Socket A OEM (AMD)

Sub Total £409.20

Total £480.81

+GE-FORCE 4 4200 TI4200 128MBDDR 8X AGP SP72288X £120.00 (Sparkle)

I think that is a remakable system? What are everyones thoughts. Will it run the latest games and the basics like I want it to? Is the card a decent price and is it any good?

Just look at that memory though! 1024mb DDR Dimm SD! And all that for just £530! I assume I can build it in a day of solid work and then config all the BIOS and op system in a few days.

I ordered my anti static equipment and am now just waiting till my Dad comes back from Wales (next Saturday :( ) with the magic plastic!

It's gonna cost me a bit more cos i'm going for a ATI.

We all know SR's mods prices are very high, so can you just post a few

It would be unfair for me to post all the sites we use as they are going to be contest for sr, might get banned. I have got some stuff off of overclockers ages ago, it was an athlon 1 gig guaranteed to 1.2 but went to 1.4, i was so proud of that machine.

c.b.

What sites are you lot looking on for your stuff? I've been looking at www.overclockers.co.uk but your prices seem to be a lot lower.

Lol

can you not find it listed on dabs?

I need to know the goddamn price with a 4800... shouldnt be too much as its a 4400 with 8x AGP which makes no difference.

I'm opting for the PIV 2.4ghz personally.
