Feedback on my new computer.

[maccatak11]

Ok any feedback would be appreciated here. benny the cunt and myself sat down and worked this out this arvo, but just wondering what other people have done, and if they recommend me changing any of these specs. Only need the comp for internet, work, multitabling and watching the odd video. Im not an avid gamer, but may play the odd game.

I plan to get this in the next month or so, and i already have a brand new 19" acer monitor to run as a second monitor to the one i have listed.

All prices listed are from MSY, and i probably take it as a given that they are the cheapest around.

Brett and the murrin bros would be the best to speak to.

Brett will be back from work around 11pm

Looks fine to me.
Maybe a better video card wouldn't go astray, that's very entry level.

In saying that, you could probably do all the things you listed on the absolute lowest spec "brand new" PC you could get.

[maccatak11]

Yeah thats true david, but i want something slightly above entry level so that in a couple of years time its still usable and i dont have to upgrade every year. Might look at a better video card, benny the cunt suggested a 1 gig one, but i get the feeling thats a little above what i will need it for.

[David]

Nope, 1 GIG or more is good.
Dual screen, remember.
And what outputs does the card have? one DVI and one VGA? Two VGA? DVI and HDMI?

Screw the second HDD, use that cash on the Video.

[maccatak11]

yeah i may end up getting a second HDD still, but only a 500G one. i do have a lot of tv shows and movies and stuff, but i have a 1TB external HDD that should do the trick for that. So i think ill save $50 on the HDD and get a better video card. thanks david.

[bennymacca]

just get both.

[Garth Kay]

Gotta have a good video card.

How are you to admire the awesome 1980's graphics on 888! Avatars are pimping!

[Brett Kay]

Wireless card for internet? Or are you using a usb dongle?

Bit behind on tech at the moment. Using laptops and haven't really thought about a desktop in two years.

But definitely get a better video card. More memory in it the less it will use of your on board. Don't know about the chip and chip set with Win 7. Think there are cheaper hard drives available with more space. Obviously looking at read write speeds there.

Overall looks good.

Pluggint this one straight into my router, but i do have a wireless dongle if i feel like moving it any time soon. Will definately go with 1G video card and get two 500G HDD instead. Thanks for the help guys.
