Hi
I'm thinking about buying some new hardware.
Nothing too fancy, nothing too hardcore-pricy, just
some decent stuff, because my roommate needs a new
pc badly and is thinking about buying my old one.
Sooo... I have roughly ~350Euros to spend on
a) Mainbord
b) RAM
c) CPU
d) GPU
and e) case.
I looked up some stuff and got a price for it from
a friend who works at a hardware store:
a) MoBo: MSI K8N Neo4-F (65€)
b) OCZ 2GB 2-3-2-4 DDR400 (199€)
c) AMD Venice 3500+ (98€)
with Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro (14€)
d) XFX 7600 GS XT (115€)
and
e) Arctic Cooling Silentium T3 (74€)
The questions is: is this configuration any good?
What about the case; has anyone had any experience
with it? Because my old case has practically zero
cooling (0 air flow due to 0 extra fans ) and
it's damn loud - I'm hoping for something better this
time.
I can't spend too much money, thus no AM2 boards for
me - dual core is too expensive too
As long as it'll be able to run WoW, Fear and such
it's ok. I don't need the best of the bunch, I'm
not pushing for the fps-limits here.
So, if anyone could tell me, if this is ok
or if I should for example get Geil or Corsair RAM
instead of OCZ, then please do so
If there is anything which could be replaced by
something cheaper and (in ideal circumstances) better
- don't hesitate to shout
If you can see any bottleneck here, it would be
nice to give me a hint.
Thanks in advance.
