I need to decide on some components as I want to start building this in the beginning of May. Here's what I have, please let me know of any incompatibility, or any better components, however, I am on a budget and can spend NO more than what this is already going to cost me, here it is, Components marked with an asterix are those I already own and work perfectly:
RAM: Kingston 2GB DDR3 1066MHz
Processor: AMD Athlon II X2 250 Socket AM3 3.0GHz
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Motherboard: MSI GF615M-P33 GeForce 6150SE Socket AM3
Video Card: MSI HD 4650 1GB GDDR2(*)
Power Supply: Casecom Silver 500W PSU(*)
Monitor:Acer X203 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor 1600x900(*)
Optical Drives: 2x Sony Optiaric DVD drives(*)
Hard Drives: 2x 160GB Hard drives (320GB)(*)
Chasis: Standard mATX case(*)
Total: £223.52
I plan on gaming on high at a resolution of 1600x900, Currently, my most demanding game is Borderlands and Mirror's Edge, both run like faeces on my Pentium 4 rig. (hopefully that will change with my upgrade) however, for more demanding games I can settle for medium until I upgrade my video card.
I've created a few of these topics in the past, but, if I get enough feedback, this will be my last of this kind of post.
Thanks.
