Now some of you might think this is a bit sad, but I think it can be very informative. What I'm wanting to do is to have you lot enter a build to see if you have l33t hardware skillz. There will be several different price ranges, and you can enter into as many ranges as possible, but only one build per person per price range.

This could be quite helpful for letting people know what cpu goes with what mobo and ram etc, and could unearth some bargains.

The price ranges will be

£0-£300 ($0-$460)

£300-£500 ($460-$768)
Finray
CammRobb

£500-£1000 ($768-$1,537)
Finray

£1000-£1500 ($1537-$2305)
Finray
Miggle
Panzer

<£3000 (<$4611)
Sydney


£3000+ ($4611+)

Now obviously these are hypothetical builds.



Once we several have user-submitted entries, I will open a new thread for each price range, and you can post your entry, and a statement why it's the best, then I suppose people can nit-pick their way through your build to point out where it falls down, or where it excels. This way we can also come to a conclusion on the best build for that budget.

So without further ado...

Go build.

Mmm, good question.

I'm not sure, should we do peripherals as well? Let me know.

should just do the box .... then hook it up to your reg. monitor for proof that it works



but if someone wants to go out and buy a new monitor ... then props to them .... help out the economy



I'm just tossing that suggest out to keep cost down

Imo these budgets are too far apart.. You never see anyone asking for a 2k-4k build, I think the budgets should be <£300, <£500, <£1,000, <£1,500.

£300

meh. It's a good exercise for people just learning to build computers to put together a few different dummy builds and get feedback on them, but not much else. Maybe a decent reference for people looking to build a comp for the next month or so as well.
