I am trying to work out a new build for someone and just want to see what people think. Last week I did my first ever build which I'm very happy with. A friend of a friend has asked me to do a similar build for him but not as high spec. He wants to easily be able to run 4 monitors. I said I could probably do it for £750 which would ideally include about £100 profit for me and another mate for ordering it all and putting it together. So really the budget is about £650. If though it needs to be a bit more I might be able to get a bit more out of him and if I can get it cheaper then it means more profit for me. My build last week was this: Motherboard - MSI P67A-GD53 CPU - Intel Core i5 - 2500K 3.3 GHz RAM - Corsair Vengeance Jet Black LP 8GB DDR3 Cooling - Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced Hard Disk - 2 x Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB SSD - Crucial Real SSD M4 64GB solid state drive Optical Drive - Samsung SH-S222AB Case - Fractal R3 PSU - Antec TruePower New TP-650 Sound Card - M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Graphics Card - Sapphire 5770 Flex So for my friends build here's the details: Budget: - £650 Main uses of intended build: - Multimedia, CAD, very casual gaming Monitor resolution: - easily use 4 monitors Storage requirements: - 1 hard disk, no SSD Will you be overclocking: yes I'm thinking of buying the following: Motherboard - MSI P67A-G45 (B3) - £93.20 CPU - Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz - £163.40 RAM - 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance - £68.16 Cooling - Gelid Tranquillo - £23.98 Hard Disk - 1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 - £38.98 Optical Drive - Samsung SH-S222AB/BEBE - £14.50 Graphics Card - 1GB Sapphire HD 5770 FleX - £107.48 Wireless Card - Abit AirPace PCI-E 54Mbps - £5.96 Either Case - Antec 100 One Hundred - £41.81 PSU - 650W Antec TruePower - £92.27 TOTAL £649.74 (£666.52 inc. del.) ALL THE ABOVE FROM SCAN.CO.UK OR get this case and PSU from ebuyer on special offer reduced from £100 Coolermaster Centurion 5 II Case with Coolermaster GX 550W PSU - £74.99 (£87.75 inc delivery) from eBuyer TOTAL £603.41 (£613.00 inc. del.)
