OK. Thanks Matt. I still haven't got this E8400 but I've got my fingers crossed.

No problem John.

I dropped out at £250. It finally sold for £763.

Really? Wow. If you wait a bit the price will come down.

JohnthePilot · 03-03-2008, 11:28 PM

I going to have to wait. There's no way I'm paying that price.

great CPU

4G of ram is not really needed if it is a 32bit OS as the system will only use ( recognize ) 3 to 3.5G due to 32bit limitations

I would say it would be a 650 to 700 dollar system

Despite my good experiences with supposedly crappy-quality power supplies, I would have to say that duck is right. As for the video card, I'm pretty sure you can run most of the latest games, just not at the highest settings. Medium should work perfectly fine.
