Hypothetical Spec

[Isphera]

OK, before I start, I AM NOT GETTING A NEW PC. I just wanted to make a spec and see if anyone thought it was good. Because I have nothing better to do

OK, this doesn't include a case, but everything else is accounted for. Please note there are supposed to be 2 HDD's and 2 CD Drives, forgot to do it on thing, and CBA to change it.

Looks nice, though the power supply is TOTAL overkill. I run a higher spec on a HW520 Corsair PSU. I also got my GTX280 for £210 but that was a while ago xD.

You forgot the RAM....

Not to bad otherwise, but yeah, PSU is total overkill.

EDIT: My bad, didn't see the second image lol.

EDIT2: Why do I have a feeling we are all going to be "Surprised" when this arrives for you for Xmas? .

lol oric meant he had nothing better to post on the forum so he did this :P

[Isphera]

You wont. £1.3k is a bit out of reach ATM. If my budget was £400, then maybe, but some of that is budgeted for Minneapolis trip.

lol oric meant he had nothing better to post on the forum so he did this :P

Kinda. Although it is partially for that, I wanted a basis to keep updating every two months or so, in order to have a template for when I do want a new one.

EDIT - 1.2 to 1.3 - I cant add.

I'm just looking forward to mid Feb/early March when I will hopefully get my new comp .

Yeh i need a comp that i can have at uni, laptop is pretty useless tbh, i just wanna build a pc that will play all games with easy nothin too fancy, already got ma gfx card sorted it just findin a mobo and processor that i struggle

Yeah that Could run on a 400w solid power supply easy, 1kw power supply's are more of a gimic in nearly all gaming PC's these days unless you have a silly amount of things plugged in and running PSU's at half there capacity gives a bad power conversion rate.


The Nvidia route is also at the moment the money wasters market at the high end ATI cards all the way.

Would have got a pc upgrade this month but the car has stolen all my moneyz £130 a tyre aint fun.

Dont forget i got a 650 W psu for my pc when i had my dual 2900xt (1gb s) in crossfire, and it literally exploded. big bang, sparks flying out the side, blew the 13 amp fuse in the plug :O

i found out that they use over 500 on their own without any other system components :P

gogo 1.1 KW psu that cost less than orics choice and is normal size so it will fit in cases unlike the enermax

[Colonel Mitch]

Also WTF oric??? 1.3 grand pc and its on ddr2 ram and has 1 Grafics card

[Colonel Mitch]

And your getting 4gb ram with a 32 bit os....... POINTLESS

EDIT: also WTF £65 for a normal laser etched keyboard with backlights????

EDIT2: and whats the 2TB storage about, i assume your gunna raid it but if u want it for speed get 1 1tb drive and 2 faster smaller ones

EDIT3: Just noticed... in your 1.3k gaming dream machine... you dont even have the top card nvidia produce! (and you shuda gone with ati)

Basically LOL

[Calneon]

Yeah WTF ORIC?

[Colonel Mitch]

OH - and also.... I assume your gunna run it on your bench... COZ U DONT HAVE A CASE

The ATI cards are always power hungry but that wouldnt happen in a normal system,

We run a 250w shuttle C2D 3.0ghz 1333fsb 4gb DDR2 ATI 4850 80gb sata2 hdd, CD/DVDRW sata2 drive, Fans perfectly,

People wayyy over estimate power supply needs due to the marketing these days.


In normal system's a under powered PSU will just cut out and restart under a stress test/OC something must have broken/stopped those saftey trips.

LOL ORIC EPIC FAIL, clearly put no thought and effort into this thread oric and it hurts, just tryin to make us all more active, at least put something pointful up, like this http://www.alienware.co.uk/product_d...de=SKU-DEFAULT
