Hi All

Do some of you guys fancy speccing a PC for me ? Jackrabbit did this for me couple years ago and its been great (still is tbh) but ..........

Win 7 is on its way and im gonna do a build for that.

Just got a couple of "must have's" - gotta be Geforce and gotta be Intel and as quiet as poss but cant bring myself to go water cooled ......... err i dont think Wink

Other than that i'm easy

Thanks

Just 2 questions, what's the budget? and are you getting a new case / power supply etc.

tricky - once these things get going i tend to get a bit carried away prob not over 1500 (unless you've got a REALLY good reason Laughing

)

Yes - i'll be trying to sell all the old stuff

Ok, don't know if you are going to be using an older DVD drive or whatnot but if you have 1500 quid to spend you'll have more then enough to get something like this Razz

1182 quid. Not including Hard Drive and DVD Drive tho, with a system like this you should really look into getting a Solid State Hard Drive such as this one...

But that bumps up your total to 1452
