Mr_Odwin Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'm building a budgety PC and need some advice on this side of things. I don't use PCs for gaming, but I wouldn't mind using some of the prettier stuff in Vista (when I decide to upgrade). I'm not keen on the whole turbocache/hyper memory thing so I'd like to steer clear of that. The mobo is an Asus P5B so it's PCI Express cards we're looking at. Anyone have any ideas/advice? E-buyer is a bonus as I'm buying the rest of my stuff from there. My current favourite is: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-005-GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some pretty amazing deals on RAM lately that i could point you in the direction of. Its all DDR2 though, making me rather upset (the stuff i need is inferior and double the price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife would kill me. http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/111197 Pay through Google Checkout to get £10 off Are you after RAM as well? I've seen some pretty amazing deals on RAM lately that i could point you in the direction of. Its all DDR2 though, making me rather upset (the stuff i need is inferior and double the price) I'm using the google checkout thing, as the rest of the components are coming from ebuyer. Why is the one you've linked to better than the one in my first post? RAM/CPU/mobo choice is sorted, just need help with this last thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 No reason in particular, i'd just stay away from OcUK's own cards. There isn't a lot of info on them (the card you get isn't even the one shown in the picture) and so it makes it difficult to make an informed decision.

Cube Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 No way! My wife would kill me. How about this then? But seriously, does anyone know about Micom? Are they reliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Have you bought yet? Ebuyer just emailed me about this: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=106578&_LOC=UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 I also got that mail, but it's a bit too much. I went for your previous suggestion and it came in at £33.24 with P&P included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
