Pre-vat increase PC


If I was going to make myself a new pc (which I do every 2 or 3 years)

 

here is what I would make myself before Overclockers UK adds the extra vat to its product range (after this week I think)

 

£65 - mobo - Asus P7H55-M Intel H55 (Socket 1156)

£91 - case - Antec 900 Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case

£81 - memory - OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C10 2000MHz Dual Channel

£140 - processor - Intel Core i5 650 3.20GHz (Clarkdale) (Socket LGA1156)

£60 - hard drive1 - Kingston SSDNow V-Series 30GB (windows drive)

£32 - hard drive2 - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache

(data drive)

£112 - graphics - HIS IceQ 5 Turbo ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5

£26 - CPU cooler - Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 High Performance CPU Cooler

£74 - psu - Zalman ZM500-HP Heatpipe Cooled 500W Modular Power Supply*

£16 - optical - LG GH22NS50 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter

 

= £697

 

*antec power supply calculator rated 90% at 468w but 100% was 514W so

maybe its +£15 for 600w version of psu

Great choice on the cpu, I have one in my HTPC and its fast, cool and low power as well.

 

Doubt I would bother with a dedicated graphics card these days though.

You could leave that out if you don't play games and you definitely wouldn't need a 600w psu then. With case fans on low rpms it would be practically silent. Even moreso, the ICEQ cards are pretty quiet anyway.
