gonna go buy this tomorrow probably!!
so max budget is 500squid (inc tax etc) and the bits and bops have to come from http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/ since i live near there :awsm:

the peecee needs to be able to run on xp and run eve, bf2 and tf2 mostly but have room for expansion (new card down the road etc).

atm basically i need an entire build inc case but i dont need a gpu - have one already. 4gb ram would be lovely and a decent dual core also. on the case it just needs to be something to hold everything together, no proper money sent on it.

much love from teds

i has 512mb 4850 and a 1680x1050 res pc

don't make me agree with Cammy, Teds - futureproof yourself. better now than when you absolutely haveta, and - most of my programs run np.

for those that don't, i run in a virtual machine.

looking at picking up a new build next week. tentative budget is like lol 500squid inc pnp however. is new mobo+cpu+ram+(cheapcheap) case unfeasible? i'd be able to carry over my 4850 but i think my psu died last night ((

thoughts

oh doesnt have to be a super serious build (eve/bf2/tf2, potential to expand if i need it)

Oooh, actually, the 650W from Corsair is on cheap at the mo. That'd be good if you wanted to upgrade in the future.
