3000 Euro!! Is this Going Overboard?

Celt

Delivery for komplett will be €150(and I was wrong, the komplett price is excl vat)

Patman

Note that the motherboard listed on Komplett's list is not necessary to include as it is already included in the upgrade kit.

Marky Mark; if you'd like to get this from Komplett; let me know and I'll give you an even better price on this.

Thanks for that patman, didn't realize there was a komplett section here the motherboard there is the one included in the kit.

I think im going for the elara one though, they are upgrading me to the A7N8V and delivery is free....woohoo, and the guy was saying something about using OCZ memory, is that good? I suppose they are an Irish company as well

thanks alot for all the input guys, just saved myself 400 euro!!

Marky Mark

I know this a stupid reason but i kinda prefer the case as well:D

Patman

Well, at least now you know we're around! And congratulations on your new PC btw!

techseekers.net have a review of ocz memory its not bad stuff better than the generic if you want faster timings or are overclocking

OK I've finally made my order with Elara, and this is what im getting

Antec PLUS660AMG
Antec True Power 330W
ASUS A7N8X MBPC SA ATX 3xDDR ATA133 AUD LAN 6xUSB1
AMD XP 2700+ Processor
Iiyama 19" Monitor FST VM 1451

2697.00 Incl VAT and Delivery

The techie in Elara thinks I should lower to an Athlon 2400+ and get a Sound Blaster audigy 2 Sound Card instead,for a total of 2685.33 Incl VAT and Delivery, he thinks the price for the 2700+ is too high at the moment, is it worth the swap?

For most people the faster processor would be the better option.

Since your spending that much money (almost as much as me!) you should probably go for 1GB of ram.

Also that mouse is a no no if your going to be online gaming.

Windows XP Home is naff IMO. WIN2k or WINXP IMO

If that motherboard is the A7N8X Deluxe then forget any extra audio cards.. the Deluxe has excellent onboard sound and will send any creative card running.. and if its the deluxe board it also has firewire ..

Audigy 2 would be a waste in my opinion..

If its not the deluxe board, then a downgrade to the 2400+ and get the Deluxe, it would be better.

The ASN8X Deluxe is a great board, the onboard 6 channel shound will give any sound card a run for its money
