Too late, it's out of date. You must have gone and made a drink......

If you want an 'out of date' laugh.......
Graphics card is currently GEForce NVIDIA 8400 (don't all laugh at once).

Re: Buildng your own PC
I'm in a weirdly similar situation.
I've got a 12 core i7, 16 GB RAM, lots of various drives/SSDs, etc and the video card........an nVidia Quadro NVS 295
Released: May 7th, 2009

Re: Buildng your own PC
windows 7 64 bit will take full advantage of 16 or 32gb, im not a gamer so I just use 2 ati radeon's, if you haven't already, a duel monitor setup is a must with ultramon
I hate windows 8.1 with a passion
The latest gen haswell i5 chips are good value for money most to clock well if your in to that sort of thing

Re: Buildng your own PC
My Quadro has 4 monitor outputs, which is why I'm using it. 
8.1 isn't too bad at all, it's got a lot of stick.

Re: Buildng your own PC
I do like being in the right place at the right time.
Pop to see a mate who's just about to chuck a load of stuff away. Mind if I look? Help yourself, he says.
Ka-Ching! Intel 510 series 250GB SSD sat there amidst the rubbish. Want it? Nope - mine!
Now where can it go......

Re: Buildng your own PC
"Jammy git" is the only thing I can say. Being in the sticks is, perhaps, the one failing of living remotely - I miss out on loads of 'townie' deals (boot sales, auctions etc)

Great find there BG

Re: Buildng your own PC
Naah, it's all about Windows 7. Win 8 = Microsoft trying to merge computers with Windows Mobile style touch screen apps interface = pretty much useless for PC enthusiasts who build their own and will give you a massive headache.joinerjohn wrote:Don't forget to factor in the cost of the OS... Win 8.1 (depending on the edition) can cost anything from about £50 upwards (for legit versions) Or can cost you absolutely sweet FA, but with loads of hassle trying to find a product key that will work (with no guarantees of ever finding one)
