Hey guys,

Building a new pc and i would like someone to come up with some specs.

I want to use scan or ebuyer (witch ever cheapest)

Budget: £600

i would like

> A case (nice but not too expensive, good cooling.)
> Intel CPU ( Possible i7, not fussed, rather have a Intel 2 duo, may overclock.)
> 4GB Ram
> Inc OS
> PSU
> Sli Compatable Motherboard
> 9800GT [What ever best chipset, again sli please! May use two GFX in future.)
> no hdd
> Two Slots for PCI-E (so i can fit two GFX's, both SLI)

Do you need a monitor with that? You want a genuine licence to an OS. I'm guessing Vista Home Premium? Are you sure you want an SLi motherboard? You can't get a good one without going expensive and if you want SLi you'll need a Nvidia chipset on the motherboard rather that a better, cheaper Intel one. Why a 9800GT? They're a little outdated now and you could probably get an ATI card that is cheaper and outperforms one. Do you want that £600 to include two graphics cards for this SLi if you're determined that's what you want? I'd recommend getting one good card instead of two not so good ones. Are you sure about no HDD? What do you currently have? Hard drives are generally a bottleneck in most systems these days, so it's best to get a modern one or run a RAID array or get an SSD.

Include a good new HDD then, i can run two hdd's. And for the motherboard and GXF, i have more experience with Nvidea Geforce cards, but i can survive with one GFX so, go ahead, do what you thinks better same with teh motherboard - sli isnt a must have. For the OS, dosent matter if it isnt included, however yeah Vista Premium, chances are ill not but it and buy it speretly when ive built my Pc. Also can you incldue a Opticle drive, again not important, i can use my current.

Ok, here's what I came up with. I don't think you have a big enough budget for an i7 system.

Case - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/160805 - £27.51
PSU - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127861 - £54.99
Mobo - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149274 - £64.96
GPU - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/160748 - £127.85
CPU - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131950 - £159.99
RAM - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/166461 - £34.99 (maybe get two for 8GB?)
HDD - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143288 - £66.95
DVD-RW - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149313 - £16.24

That totals around £555. Then you have an operating system or maybe wait for Windows 7?
