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, GA-7ZXE Gigabyte Socket A Motherboard 3 Dimms 1000-2400XP (gigabyte)
1 off, AMD Athlon2200XP+ Socket A OEM (AMD)
1 off, AK785SE Akasa Athlon/Duron Cooler Up TO 2200XP (Akasa)
1 off, 48X12X48 CDRW ARTEC RE-WRITER RETAIL BOXED (Artec)
1 off, 20GB 5400RPM SEAGATE HARD DRIVE 9W1021-301 (Seagate)
2 off, 512MB PC133 BRANDED KINGSTON
1 off, 56K V92 MODEM INTEL CHIP SET RETAIL BOXED (Intel).
Sub Total £409.20
VAT £71.61
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!
