Don't take it on the personal.

OK, here's the spec...
Processor is a Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition running at 3.4GHz.
Memory is 8GB of OCZ Obsidian DDR3 at 1600MHz, standard latencies of 9-9-9-24 or something mediocre like that.
Graphics is a Radeon 5770, for now...
Hard drive... just one Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB drive.
The motherboard is the Asus Crosshair III.

Whats so wrong with that, thats pretty good.

It was all dirt cheap and on special offer

The whole system was under £1k I think

Aljidy · Sat Nov 21, 2009 9:57 am

Then why is it a downgrade?

azcn2503 · Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:03 am

The last one cost £2.5k and was faster.

You paid 1 k for that?!

Me thinks you got WELL ripped off.

Skillers · Sun Nov 22, 2009 12:09 am

Sounds about right for the current going price of those components.

azcn2503 · Sun Nov 22, 2009 1:01 am

Ripped off my ass. You obviously meant the £2.5k for my last PC, which was only marginally faster.

Scottie · Sun Nov 22, 2009 1:16 am

Hmm, I actually thought it said 4770 for some reason.

But still did you get only those components, for that price?

Because that's more like below £500 just for those listed ones.

i.e.

ram / £70
mobo/ £130
proc/ £150
graphics/ £120
hdd/ £50

And this is because i've recently been building a few for peoples, so i'm in the know on prices for now.

Skillers · Sun Nov 22, 2009 1:25 am

RAM is twice as expensive as that, and your pricing there neglets all the other components.

1K does seem a bit steep though, looking at it now.

Perhaps 8gb is, if that's what you meant.

azcn2503 · Sun Nov 22, 2009 7:34 am

You're forgetting monitor and case which I have included in that under £1000 thing.

Lord Metritutus · Sun Nov 22, 2009 8:02 am

What about the PSU?

azcn2503 · Sun Nov 22, 2009 9:29 am

It's a Tagan BZ 1100W, modular.

Yeah but he said he reused the old case. £250 for the monitor, still leaves anywhere from £150 - £100 of change.

On a side note;

How are you finding the LED screen azn as in comparison to a normal bulb backlight screen?

(http://www.ebuyer.com/product/162372 vs http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172991)

Would you say the extra £50 after the cashback is worth it?

God damn I need to go somewhere that has an LED backlight screen so I can actually have a gander, but nowhere near me has any.
