need a list...

[.Simon.]

ok, im hoping to get a custom built computer for my birthday in october, thing is... i aint got a clue what i should have in it lol.

im hoping to get back into DF with it so a good graphics system would help, but also somthing practical, as i need to do school work etc.

please post your list of components etc...

im looking to spend about £1,000 on it (hopefuly)

Errr I think there's a thread already on this topic

[Steve]

£1,000 is too much
but there is no real point in speccing it now as the parts will be much cheaper in Oct and you will be able to buy different/better parts then

say i know it doesnt help much, hmm.

dual core AMD's will be out early nxt year i think, things will change big then.

Yeah what Steve said.

Get a nice GFX card...that is all I have to say.

[.Simon.]

lol, you think 1k is too much??? what do you think price-wise steve? or anyone else?

[atholon]

Once again I need the currency rates.

I think that if you're building a decent PC you can do it for under $1500 USD.

Lemme see...64 bit mobo is around $80-90, Ram...2 gigs is around $300 ...GFX card $400...hard drive $60....case..$90....processer $300. That is about $1300....if you look around I bet you can find better deals.

1.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 1.83590 USD United States Dollars

[Dr. Bullet]

An easy guesstimator is that one US dollar is worth half as much as one pound.

I think 600 pounds would be plenty. I could build two super nice gamers with that

yup
