Hi there Guys, I'm a complete noob, struggling with the ridiculous amount of choice as far as components are concerned -i'm going to build a pc from scratch for:
Gaming
Excel formulas and Market calculations
Translating
So I opted to go for a slick system. So far i'm thinking of the following components, but I'm not sure if they're going to mesh well together into a motherboard, let alone which one.....They are:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz 12M Cache processor
4870HD GPU
Dual monitors
Akasa 850W AK-P085FG-BK PowerMax PSU
Then either 4GB DDR3 or 8GB DDR2
I thought the most difficult things when considering teh mobo were the DDR3, 4870 and the monitors.
I also want to get a relatively good mobo for future proof reasons
Budget about £1,200 ($2,400)
Can you give me some suggestions please guys?
Thanks!
