    My uncle might be wanting me to build him a computer, so i decided to put the pc together on paper, i have thought of having it to it can be upgraded in the future, sli, 939 motherboard etc.

    this is what i have so far.

    you will have to look for it on the page, i have put the name of the power supply as a link.

    Akasa Ultra Quiet 460W Paxpower Active PFC ATX2.0 PSU - Black Nickel (CA-003-AK)

    AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 90nm (Socket 939) - OEM (CP-132-AM)

    Leadtek WinFast GeForce 6800 256MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-048-LT)

    Asus A8N-SLi nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-101-AS)

    Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 160GB 1600JS SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-047-WD)

    Corsair 512MB DDR XMS3200C2PT Platinum CAS2 (MY-007-CS)

    CoolerMaster Centurion 531 - Silver (No PSU) (CA-084-CA)


    NEC ND4550 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM (CD-024-NE)

    all, comes to £616,76p inc my VAT i would charge him £750, cant find anywere that would sell computers that good for that price too.

    when it comes near to building it, i will take a few hours ot try and get the price down, also, it dont know what his budget is yet, to cut prices i can go skt 757, non sli motherboard, and also lower capacity hard drive, cheaper ram, etc.

    look at the cost, for 1gb, its twice as much, i dont know weather i should go with a different brand of ram, and cheaper ram, for £60 i can get 1gb generic ddr400 pc3200 ram from pc world, but tis what i have got, its value stuff :\

    what i am thinking of doing, is actually selling my computer ot my uncle, then having me build that computer, and me keeping that, but i might make adjustments if i kept that one, eg crossfire motherboard, pci express x800xt pe :)

    do you think it would be wise to conver to maybe a single pci express motherboard for just one pci express card and socket 754?
