how much you got to spend?

 

[MrE]

Ya, how much cash do you got to work with?

 

[Shake&Bake]

R5000.00 or R6000.00 and credit might be a more viable option...

 

[killadoob]

well if credit viable

e6300 with gigabyte 965 board
2 gig memory
8800gts

LoL, thats the problem people ask for a gaming pc, everyone replies with their dream machine

 

[MrE]

You have a monitor, case, keyboard etc. already? Or do you need everything new?

Intel prepares to kill off the Pentium 4

and the AMD's still suck...

E6600 Core2Duo
2Gb DDR2-800 Ram
2x 320Gb hdd Raid 0
8800Gt
2x 19" LCD screen
But that will be way over R10k

make sure you buy it cost price, otherwise you really get your ass raped!

 

[hj2k_x]

That is going to cost a pretty packet!

 

[spiderz]

ok, more affordable specs
E6300
1Gb DDR2-800 (cost the same as ddr2-667)
250GB SATA II 16Mb Drive
7600GT card

 

[hj2k_x]

That seems more reasonable. How much you reckon that would set you back? Gonna be some time before i'll ever be able to buy anything like it, but just out of interest..?

tight budget and cost price is what I'm looking at guys...I know that Incredible connection and the like are selling sh!te that one could build up for cheaper....

wot are the mystical numbers saying spiderz?

 

[killadoob]

ziggy a core 2 duo e6300 isnt a dream machine

yea 1 gig memory if you not planning on getting vistai would rather buy a 7900gs not much more than the 7600gt

but if you can wait a few months some low end dx10 will be coming at good prices
