Hey there, thanks for giving me ur time! I am looking to upgrade and originally planned to get a Amd X2 4200+ however now i am looking at getting the following please note the main reason i switched is because of the oc potential of intel.. also though this system works out cheaper
Cpu: Core 2 Duo E4300 1.87ghz £105.26
Artic Cooling Freezer Pro £16.29 (wanted to keep it as cool as pos 4 overclocking but is it needed?
Asus P5b Deluxe WIFI £113.98 (ive noticed many on here use Gigabyte but Tom's said its a more difficult overclocker. i am complety new to ocing)
XFX Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb £189.94 (other options include ATI Connect3D X1900 GT (£100.48) and Connect3D X1950XT (£139.95) however i wanted the card to last a while, i normally play on 1024x768 (brothers in arms... was planning on Supreme Commander and others)
OCZ Gld Spec Ops 800mhz £125.46
Zalman ZM600-HP 600W £79.86
Antec Nine Hundred £68.16
320 Gb Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 16mb £57.68
