Hey

Need to build my roomy a PC, help please :)

CPU
Motherbaord
RAM
PSU
HDD SATA
MOUSE
KEYBOARD

Budget = R6000
 
no GPU? :p

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

For R6000 you can get a pretty good pc.

Use that last R500 on a case or bigger HDD:)

Looks good to me :)

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