Sub 300 Gaming build
Published (2009-11-12 20:49:00)
I would get a Q8400 or Q9400 IMHO: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164520 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148545 I would get 4GB of this low latency PC2-6400 DDR2: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143844 The HD4870 512MB has also dropped in price: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/169206 The E8*** series are overpriced. More and more games are starting to take advantage of multiple cores so a quad core is a better choice IMHO than a dual core over £80.

That looks fine. I mean he might want a better GPU, but that should be fine for most purposes.

Interesting AMD roadmaps

Ahhh that makes sense. CPU based physics engines would become far more viable, heck crysis might actually become playable

Based on that picture, installing it doesn't seems hard at all. And in fact probably one of the easiest, provided you're not trying to install on an existing system without unscrewing the board.
Normally you hold the motherboard, put the backplate in and put your CPU in, then put thermal paste. After that you place the motherboard on a flat surface, then put the heatsink on top and tighten....

the kingston V series is slow. I would say get a vertex 32GB for ~ £90. Many times faster.

I would look at:
Phenom II X4 955BE ~ £124 http://www.scan.co.uk/ShopOffers/Index.aspx
MSI 770-C45 ~ £49 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/MSI-7...dio-GB-LAN- ATX
This is a decent motherboard for the price but I would not overclock an X4 955BE using it as you would need beefier power regulation IMHO.
OR
GA-MA770T-UD3P ~ £68 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/GIGAB...770T-...

I thought you were abroad staffsMike??
Anyway I suggest this build:
Phenom II X3 705E ~ £91 http://www. ebuyer.com/product/167111
This is a 65W CPU.
A mATX 785G based motherboard ~ £68 to £70 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/169532 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/170277 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/170230
4GB of 1600MHZ DDR3 ~ £80 to £82 http://www.ebuyer.com/...

Personally, I always spend as much as I can afford on the GPU. It's the one piece of kit that dates the fastest. Can you strech to a 4890 ?

Anand has two articles that are finally giving some more information on what AMD plans for the next few years.
First up, a general roadmap: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...oc.aspx?i=3 673
Secondly, high level bulldozer and bobcat architecture diagrams: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...oc.aspx?i=3 674
The latter is very interesting - we've been waiting for bulldozer ...

Where did you get a Corsair 350W Modular PSU from? That's the first I've heard of such a thing!

Whats your price range? Scrap the AMD set up and go intel i7 with a ATi 5870 for starters in my opinion.
Also welcome to Hexus.

I just bought my own next gen system, and I went for the i5 option. Basically I'm going to overclock, and I saw here .
i5 750 - £145 delivered @ eBuyer
Geil DDR3 4GB PC3-17000 (2133MHz) - £93 delivered @ OCUK
Akasa Freedom Tower Cooler - £28 delivered @ Scan
MSI P55-GD65 - £65 in the MSI promotion @ Scan (would have got Gigabyte GA-P55-US3L @ £87 otherwise)
So that'd be £353 with ...

Should be in hardware or help really...
However I'll lend what knowledge I have anyway. What's budget?
If you can afford it get an i7 920 and a Gigabyte UD3R.
If not then an i5 750 and again a Gigabyte UD3R (but a different socket obviously).

Cant really give any suggestions without a price range - HTPC cases can range from ~£40 for cheeper cases, right up to several hundert pounds. And also a case is generally what you like, to one person it may look great, but to the other be ugly.
To see some HTPC cases look here: http://www.scan.co.uk/Index.aspx?NT=1-0-6-210-0 (silverstone and lian-li, both which should be very nice cases)...
