New PC

[Bravestar]

Hey

Need to build my roomy a PC, help please

CPU
Motherbaord
RAM
PSU
HDD SATA
MOUSE
KEYBOARD

Budget = R6000

 

[Glordit]

no GPU?

Could go with:
E2180, MSI G31M2, 2GB DDR2-800, 250GB HDD, Gigabyte M1 case/combo and save R3000... although what will the PC be used for?

 

[cyberarmy]

What's the main use of this PC?

 

[Bravestar]

Movies. internet browsing and some casual gaming

 

[SlyFly]

Get a GPU atleast, even if its a cheap R300 one, still beats onboard.

For R6000 you can get a pretty good pc.

 

[sn3rd]

Monitor needed?

Looks good to me

I would also use that last R500 to change the 320GB HDD to 2 x 250GB say...

 

[QX6700RULZ]

Would rather go for a E21** series cpu and add the 500 and the difference from the cpu to the cost of a decent psu (none mentioned)

Goood point - missed that

No case or PSU mentioned...

 

[QX6700RULZ]

I get lucky now and then

 

[Picard]

All of these peeps have forgotten that TIA.

Eskom is running rampant. Although they have slowed down for now they WILL return to their old ways ... thus ... with the last R500 ... buy a UPS, bru. Otherwise you'll lose that motherboard and data on the HDD, chop-chop.

This is also a great point, had 2 hours of "power failure" aka loadshedding today

You reckon? I have never lost any equipment to load-shedding and it has happened a lot here over the years

 

[QX6700RULZ]

In my case a couple of gennies are used so ups's are a great accessory but do not help when the server is not used off them so hence no internet

Consider yourself lucky, but know this, technically it can happen.

Always good to get a solid PSU from a decent brand, no matter what you are going to do with the PC. No PSU = no PC

Probably don't need anything too hectic though if you ask me...Could get away with one of those tower+PSU bundle things...

Would rather go with something in the Antec range but that is just me

mmmmm when you click the link for the HD3650 it takes you to the HD3850 and prophecy does not seem to have so I am guessing it's the HD3850
