Re: computer systems again :)

NB: its not specifically a tech question, its a shopping question (sort of) so i though here was best

melandron, all he wants it to be able to do is play BF:vietnam and the only thing we already have is the monitor

Re: computer systems again :)

You'll be needing 1GB of RAM to play BF:Vietnam properly. True story.

I'm sure Mark would build one easily for that price, but hes in the wrong place now. Ask him though. There again, you will probably see him before you read this.

Re: computer systems again :)

£300 including a Graphics Card I assume?
I am up for a challenge, here is the "sort of thing you are looking for"

350 Watt BRANDED PSU + case (dont skimp on the PSU)
512 MB DDR Ram
120 GB HDD
Semptron 2800+
Bog Standard Socket A Nforce2 Motherboard (I reccomend the NF7-S)
Geforce 5200 - 128MB (anything more is a waste), Or a 9600 SE or Pro if you can find a cheap one

Priced that up at ebuyer and got you:

XFX Geforce Fx5200 AGP8x 128MB DDR DVI TV-Out (housemate has this, got a good 3DMark score with it)
Maxtor 6Y120M0 120GB Serial ATA 8mb Cache 7200rpm - OEM - SATA drives are nice
AMD Sempron 2800 Processor 256Cache 333FSB Retail box with 3 year warranty - Retail box needed for fan
Corsair 512MB, DDR333 / PC2700, non-ECC, Unbuffered, CL2.5 - Good timings an "in sync with system"
Antec Solution Slk1600 - System Cabinet - Mini Tower - Atx - Beige - Power Supply 300 Watt - Has 300 Watt, but it is good quality and should run this fine
Abit NF7-S2G SKT A Nforce2 Ultra 400FSB Gigabit LAN SATA RAID 6ch Sound USB 2.0 Retail Box - The daddy

For £310 shipped, you could skimp a little on the case and get a cheaper one, but I would reccomend getting it becuase you need a quality PSU, if your PSU blows so does your motherboard and usually one or more other components

Re: computer systems again :)

I just remembered, you might need a DVD/CD-RW Drive

Get one of the NEC 5xxx models, they are great. but that takes you a little over budget, in which case you can cut back on the processor and the RAM (possibly getting 256 for the moment, but remember the stuff I have selected is quality parts)

The other thing to consider, even though I accounted for upgradability (The NF7-S is a very new motherboard, one of the last of the NForce2 ones) You will not be able to upgrade it "too much"

A budget of £500 would get you a AMD 64 Newcastle chip setting you in the intended Next Generation budget section (I have heard) as well as perhaps getting a nicer looking case and a better graphics card (although the 5200 is DirectX 9b compatable it is not the GREATEST of cards, except it runs Doom 3 very well as I have noted with my housemates computer, but do not get anything with 256MB of video RAM, pointless)
