Default Any Ideas?
Hello all :)

As some of you may of read, My computer (Dan's piece of crap) has died.

So instead of trying to fix it, i thought sell the remaining parts:)

I have a Dell laptop coming by the 19th.

So i wil then start building Dan's not so crap computer. Any ideas of what hardware i could use, motherboard, Memory, cases etc.

I don't want to buy reall expensive stuff.

Thank you for the input:)

Well. About 300. It will be used for some gaming and general googling for porn;)

I'd look at a P35 Chipset
Maybe an E8200 for the Adobe programs, quite CPU intensive, if your budget stretches.
An 8600GT or ATI 3850 Sounds like it should do the graphics job just fine.
Hard Drive capacity is subjective
2 Gigs of PC2-6400 RAM

Are you looking to maybe upgrade in the future gaming-wise or is that unlikely?
Looking to overclock?

There's this Gigabite, has good chipset and can handle the PC2-6400 fine.

Also this MSI, they have very similar specs I haven't had experience with these boards however so if anyone else has they may be able to give a better judgment....

Yea, I agree, with that budget, that is probably what you are looking at.

Any idea for a good case? I don't want one with LED lights, as it is a pain when watching stuff at night.

Depending on how much you want to spend you could always use this

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...20-%20No%20PSU

to be able to spend a little more when choosing your components

or

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...0500W%20%20PSU

This is the case i'll be using for my friends build.
