My fiancée has, happily, received her profit share and thus will be upgrading from her cute but aging 1.2 Duron. With a budget of ~£400 I've suggested this:
- LG 16x Black DVD-ROM + 52x CD-ROM IDE
- 2x512Mb PC3200 (PC400) DDR Memory (Major Elixir) Retail
- AMD Athlon 64 3000 32/64Bit CPU S939 "Venice" 90nm Retail inc Heat Sink Fan & 3 Years Warranty
- 128Mb XFX PCI-E GF6600-Std. Tv/DVI £66.63 £78.29
- Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 NForce4, ATX, DDDR400, PCI-E, Gbit Lan, USB 2.0, AC'97 Audio, 4 x SATA
- 80Gb Hitachi (IBM/HGST) Deskstar 7K250 (7200rpm,8MB) - SATA
- 400W Silent pPFC Power Supply AMD & P4 Ready 12cm Silent Fan
- Coolermaster Cavalier 3 Silver Chrome Finish with Window w/o PSU
Total cost: £410.15 (all from Scan)
Any thoughts/suggestions are more than welcome. I realise increasing to a 6600gt, or the hdd to 120gig, or the DVD to a nice Asus writer (she's going to scavenge the CDw from her current PC) would all be great but would, unfortunately, go a fair bit over the already over budget.
