Alegis 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2006 (edited) Hey guys. I thought it was time for an update - after much talking and considering I came to the following Any tips quality/price or compatibility otherwise? European shops (or those that deliver to europe) with awesome prices? 1 x ANTEC Performance P180B (zonder voeding) (CAS-ANT-P180B) = €135,00 1 x ANTEC SmartPower 2.0 500W (PSU-ANT-SP_500) = €70,70 1 x LITE-ON SHM-165P6S 16x DVD+/-RW 8x DL 5x DVD-RAM (bulk, zwart) (SHM-165P6S-09C) = €34,00 2 x KINGSTON ValueRam 1024MB DDR2 533MHz PC2-4200 CL4 (KVR533D2N4/1G) = €179,20 from descom.be Name: ASUS P5B Deluxe Wifi, Sock.775 Intel P965, ATX Article number: HV1125UKDE Stock balance: ready for dispatch Quantity: 1 Price per unit: 172,39 € Price: 172,39 € Name: Connect3D X1900XT, 512MB ATI X1900XT, 2xDVI, PCIe Article number: HV1021CKDE Stock balance: ready for dispatch from 2006-08-29 Quantity: 1 Price per unit: 287,73 € Price: 287,73 € Name: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Box 4096Kb, LGA775, 64bit, Conroe Article number: HV20E660DE Stock balance: ready for dispatch Quantity: 1 Price per unit: 324,99 € Price: 324,99 € Name: Western Digital Raptor 74GB, 10000 U/Min., 8MB Cache Article number: HV13WDR7DE Stock balance: ready for dispatch from 2006-08-28 Quantity: 1 Price per unit: 144,05 € Price: 144,05 € from hardwareversand.de I'll be using my old keyboard/mouse/screen and secondary hard drive. Goal: Great game pc, yet don't waste cash on stuff that's hardly an improvement. I noticed almost no webshops at all allow for direct payment from say, Visa. Bit annoying. Hoping for some great FPS experience Edited August 27, 2006 by Alegis (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wutske 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2006 Seems like a good setup, I don't see what won't work .If I may suggest something, save €100 and get the E6400, you'll hardly notice the 270Mhz difference and the 2Mb extra L2 cache don't give such a performance boots.Another suggestion is getting and AMD, they are still great gaming CPUs .About shops, check http://www.preistrend.de/ for the cheapest price in Germany (can hardly be cheaper, they only have 16% btw compared to the 21% in Belgium, but be quick, it goes to 18% in 2007).The tweakers.net pricewatch (https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/) is great for finding cheap shops in Holland (19% vs 21% ).Last but not least, the cheapest shops in Belgium, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and https://www.tones.be/particulierP.s. get the HDD in Belgium (you're from belgium, right ?), if it breaks you'll save time and money.
