After several months of umm....should I.......should I not....
I finaly got around to purchasing Doom3 & Half Life 2, then started to play them on them following specs:
AMD 1.7Ghz (Palomino core 180nm) @ 11x 133mhz with a Volcano 12 HSF
1x 512 double bank 2700
1x 512 double bank 3200 (@ 333mhz to match the lower stick)
MSI KT4v board
Gforce 4 4400 Ti AGPx4 (Hardware DX8.0)
+ the usual 7,200 HDD's and DVD-RW opticals.
I can't appriciate why people are raving on about these games, untill I saw them run on a nice system, so it's my turn to have some appriciation.
I have a budget of £400 (no I can't go higher at all - that is all I have)
I need a core upgrade
which includes:
1) 939 Nforce 4 motherboard (don't need SLI)
2) 939 A64
3) 512mb RAM
4) ATX v2.0 PSU
5) new generation graphics card.
I've managed to get what I want from this site for £401 but can you guys recommend parts needed to meet the five criteria and the budget mentioned??
I can buy parts from either:
Ebuyer
Scan
Overclockers
PC World
Maplins
obvioulsy puchasing from only one site would reduce the money spent on shipping - time to put you all to the challenge.
can you put together a core upgrade for less than £400????????????
