Hi all,
Looking at new gaming PC - best spec I can manage on about GBP £500-600 (about $7-800 USD I think). I'll need a new case, PSU and internals except optical drive and real basics I have lying around. A new one is badly needed and the release of Empire at War has pushed me over the edge!
Been a while since I was up to date on parts, but after comparing prices i'm currently looking at;
Intel E8400
Sapphire Radeon 4870 512mb
4gb memory
I really need advice on particularly a decent motherboard. I'm not looking to overclock as its only my second own-built PC.
Also I've got a 17" inch screen I'll be using for now - the pc will be next to my 42" LCD tv. If I'm running some decent games is there anything in particular I need to know for the mobo if hooking it up through that as the 4870 comes with HDMI port?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
