Hi to all,
Im searching the forum for some advice on my computer to be.
Currently I am using a p4, 1.4ghz 384mb rambus ram machine with a radeon 9700pro. The thing plays GTA sa which keeps me happy but its slow using winrar and other cpu intensive tasks, and I can not even consider any newer games!
Anyways im looking to salvage some bits off it like the psu, the dvd/cd burner and the hard drives but need a new mobo cpu and ram combo
Browsed the net and came across the following components:
AMD cpu (Venice) 64bit 3200+ socket 939 (£110)
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=88109
and the following ram:
Corsair 1024mb (2x 512) ddr400 cl2 (£75)
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=14505841244&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=52471
or
OCZ 1 GB el DDR pc-3200 400Mhz gold edition CAS 2 dual channel

Coupled with a DFI LAN party UT NF4 SLI-D motherboard (£117)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Socket_939.html (4th item down)
How are these bits rated and if you see any problems with that potential set up, any recommendations?
I will sell my agp graphics card and get a pci-e one and later a 2nd one to take advantage of the sli, and I believe that’s the cheapest long run option for me. But on the graphics card front im still undecided on a reasonable performer, any suggestions for something around the 9700pro mark?
I am able to provide any more info if needed to help me out!
