Agreed. Whether it's shyte or not is relative to needs of the PC owner. G31s kick ass for the non-OCer.
but most only have 2 ddr2 slots, which is a pain. I must say the AMD mobo's are really quite nice, they have everything you need and some wants too

Thanks for the input guys , I dont really understand all the technical desriptions . Where can I purchase the made up case which I can take home , plug in , insert a cd and the game will/should play . Or is that wishful thinking , as I have no idea how to build up one of these things .

Wishful thinking. Prebuild pcs even close to what we're talking about will cost about R7000-R8000. That's why we all build our pcs.
Prophecy prebuild pcs, but I think they've made some restrictions now though.
Don't you maybe have a buddy that can build the system for you?
If you buy a full system you will also need to include windows.
Another option would be to print out our recommendations and get a quote at a pc shop near you that isn't incredible connection.
It'll cost more, but at least it'll be pre built.

Um, I'm sure some of these online shops will build the pc for you hey, we just discussing what would be best
don't be a fool man, look at this case it's from a great manufacturer and it comes with a 380watt PSU (which with the pc specs we talking about is pretty power
). the PSU is also made by the same company, who are quite good at the psu's and I don't see that psu breaking, or damaging any on the components (like the Isonics are prone to do-break themselves )

That 380 watt is perfect for the pcs we are talking about. Just checked here and it needs less than even 300watts.

Which entry-level AMD boards have more than 2 RAM slots?
Never mind. I've found one.

What about a monitor? Does the R4000 include or exclude this?

They have damn good prices...Take a budget PC, add a 9600 or 4670 and replace the CPU with a core 2 duo and you are set.

Wow thats one ugly case
I have an iSonic Megapower 600W, still going strong You get your duds but if it works its an awesome price Also R700 for a case, with a R4000 build is to expensive... I know digitaladdiction.co.za builds the PCs for you if you buy all the components.Adenoid Hynkel

Xbox 360 and the samsung 23.3 inch hd screen. Sorted, and they can even play any sports game together, which they cant on a pc.
pc zone is pretty cheap with pre built pc almost as cheap as if you would build it yourself.Check the website @ www.zones.co.zayou have to buy the gfx card on its own though but they do install it for you.
They are actually cheaper than building it yourself. If I had to buy all the components from Rectron at dealer prices it would still cost me more than what they are selling at. Thats why I just got my last PC from them.
Unfortunately for most they are only in the Pinetown & ballito areas. There prices are good, the components are good but the service is lacking.

How much does the ATI HD 4650 contribute to that the price as it seems a bit heavy?
