I used to be a member here years ago but havn't been back in a long while. My rig is now 4 years old and I'm looking to build a new but smaller one .
I feel totally out of touch with OC'ing these days so I'm looking to you guys for some much needed guidance.
I'm currently looking to go SFF with:
MSI mPC51V case £166
AM2 Athlon64 4200+ (Energy Efficient model) CPU £106
2GB (2x1Gb) Corsair TwinX XMS2 PC6400 RAM £147
512MB Sapphire RX1950Pro PCI-E Graphics card £143
Is this gonna make decent machine or am I making a big mistake somewhere?
My budget is £550 and this lot just passes that, can I save money on lesser RAM that will clock up ok?
Are there better graphics cards out there for the same money?
I still don't know if 4200+ or an Opteron would be better. Like I said, well out of touch these days.
Please enlighten me guys!
Really appreciate all help here.
