Advert build

MRTULES

I wonder if anyone would be interested in trying to put together a build using only parts off Adverts. I dont even know if there is enough parts there to build a full rig but how about getting a case, CPU, GPU, PSU, and mobo anyone willing to give it a shot?

Take it the the cost of all parts is 10% less than asking price and see if anyone can come up with a decent value rig.

Processor (pretty much the only one there) http://www.adverts.ie/processors/intel-core-2-duo-processor-e7500/1478516

Case http://www.adverts.ie/towers/antec-902-gaming-case/1481167

Overall cost: think i left something out but with what i got it was like 550, not sure if compatable and the PSU is overkill but still

Well for 550eu I am prety sure you can built a better machine brand new m8

You might have a small problem trying to fit that processor into that motherboard :P

The E7500 chip you linked to is a LGA 775 socket and the Z68 board is LGA 1155.
PSU is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overkill and to get a new 550W you would be around the €50 mark.
RAM will be found for same price new
The GPU looks to be a good price though

Yeah I know, I just wanted to point out the few problems with it in-case MRTULES decided he wanted to buy those parts :P

I'm sure you could get a full second hand build part by part from sites like adverts and save a few quid. But it would take a lot longer in terms of finding all the parts and at a decent price. Plus it would all depend on what's available atm. You could get a great second hand build today but tomorrow half the parts could be sold off.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it would be possible just needs more time and effort to do it properly.
