[mrapoc]

Hey guys

Can you help me out on a spec, im too tired and sweaty after tae kwon do to sort it lol

Its for a guy who wants a pc to last...not to die out next year kinda thing. He primarily plays WoW but who knows, someday he will find a life

Budget is £600-ish

Doesnt need a hard drive or a cd drive

Case, cheap but smart..like that aluminium case everyone went nuts for on aqua pcs (?)

TY!

Not to be taken too seriously cos I didn't spend much time on it, but it's an idea of something that'll kick mucho butt for the budget ur after. Will oc very easily, wipe the floor with WoW and many other things. No OS.

All in all including post I make this build £596.42

If I had to build a rig for £600 i'd probably be ordering that! I'm not sure about the motherboard, but it'll definitely be infinitely tweakable :yumyum:

All fair, the point is made that £600 is well within a budget for an arse-kicking build.

Without a doubt Both of those configs would destroy my pc if they were set up well...

OP, you might as well just ask your friend if he'd like to take the red pill or the green pill times are good for computers, 4gb of ram for £40 odd and teraflop pushing graphics cards under £200! Lets not even talk about intel ****ing all over the cpu market :worship:

One good upgrade to either of these specs would be a high end cpu cooler, but thats something that can be added later on, once the stock cooler is no longer enough to satisfy the mhz addiction!

I think we did good Rasta!
