Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
Go ebuyer tbh.
Ok that mobo is not the best mobo ever, BUT, it is cheap and can take that E5200 to very decent OC. Same for the ram.
And you will get a GPU that is better than HD4670 and far better than HD2900. And for you as a gamer I'd say the GPU is the most important component.

EDIT2:
No you don't need anything else if you have HD's / DVD-RW. If you want to overclock the E5200 more than just a bit though, I'd recommend getting F7P.

This one too. You will not need internet card unless you are on wireless. 4GB of memory will not bottleneck you for a while.Finray wrote:
I've just noticed it only has two slots for cards, and a slot for a gfx card. Also, only two memory slots.
So I'm thinking, graphics card, internet card, sound card, I'm done for slots, and my 2x2GB memory would leave me without an upgrade, if I ever needed it.
Also, my first question, would I need anything else? I've got monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc, but is there anything else I'd need inside my case?

A load of helpful shizz
9600GT > 4670? It is £17 more, and when I look at this benchmark, 1 frame per second doesn't seem worth it, if I can get a fan for the difference in cost.
The benchmark is on CoD4.
The internet card I have is for a cable, when I used it instead of the internet plug on my old motherboard my internet went much faster.. Will I see the same difference with this motherboard?
Thanks for your input, +1
EDIT: On OC.co.uk there's three 9600GTs, this one for £75, this one for £94, and this one for £103, the only difference being make, and the cheapest one has a 1yr warranty, second one with a 3yr, and the third one with a lifetime, and seems to be clocked slightly higher.
Also, did a search for the 4670 on Ebuyer, and it's been discontinued lol.

What if I swapped the PSU for this one?
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141597
Then I'd be able to afford that CPU cooler, and do some mega-chegga oc'ing.

Now to be serious,, You could easily spare alot of money if you swapped those RAM with some ValueRam, considering anything else you have chosen is "Value" minded, You won't really notice the slower RAM...
I am currently running with 300Mhz ram and I can still play Crysis on my old 7900GTO
Current specs:
E6600
7900GTO
2 Gb ValueRam
Samsung 1TB HDD
edit: I also think you should stick with 2Gb of ValueRam since that will be plenty for that build...

Powercolor is cheapest, asus has the best cooler. Whichever you prefer

This and consider ASUS & Sapphire are usually some of the best quality when it comes to ATi cards...DeathUnlimited wrote:
