Upgrade Alley: General Purpose System - Enthusiast Speed

Monday, 13 Jul 2009

Our General Purpose System has been designed to handle all of the most common computer tasks, and do them all well. We try to strike an even balance between price and performance without compromising on quality components.

In this build we bring together an excellent DFI Motherboard with the AMD Phenom II CPU, we selected 4GB of DDR3 memory along with an excellent midrange video card, the ASUS HD4770. We didn't stop there though, we used 2 SSDs from Super Talent in RAID 0 for the boot drive along with a 500GB Seagate for media storage and applications.

We selected a Blu-ray/ HD DVD playerDVD burner combo and housed it all in a Cooler Master 600 Case using a Silverstone 500 watt power supply to provide the spark.
