Hey all, Sorry for making another thread! I just really want some quick advice.
I'm thinking of building a new PC. Price-range, I'm not sure, but around £600 would be best. I have case etc, but I need new CPU, Mobo, RAM, PSU and GFX card. I also wouldn't mind a sound card.
I was thinking:
CPU C2D E6750
GFX XFX 7900GTX 512MB -OR- 8800GTS
MOBO Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
PSU Corsair 620W ATX2.2
RAM Corsair 2GB RAM
SND Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 7.1
After reading an article in PC Gamer, though, I'm not sure on a few things:
Firstly, do I need that PSU? After all, it's £100 and the one in PCG is £40 - Big difference! Do I need ATX2.2?
Secondly, in PCG they had an E6320 because "its overclocking potential is massive". Does this mean getting a E6750 would be a waste of money?
Also, what is the "best" make for 8800GTSs? Does it matter if I get a cheap one?
The sound card I put in the list above is only about £15 - Is it even worth getting?
As a final thing, what are your thoughts on getting seperate HDDs for OS, programs, games and storage? Or just get one to do it all?
I'm not planning on buying the rig right now (I hav no moneyz ), but hopefully within the next two months. Any new GFX cards/CPUs etc that are coming out soon that fit my needs better (2900?)?
That's all! Cheers in advance all!
