BUDGET RANGE: £550 / $720
SYSTEM USAGE: Mainly used as HTPC (HD video), casual internet use.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S): Anything UK based (as long as it's reliable)
PARTS PREFERENCES: Not too bothered. Currentlly have AMD 955 and GTX 260 in main set up for gaming. But will switch to whatever is best for the money.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Currently using an LG 50PS3000 at 1600x1200 and also using a 5.1 LG surround sound system (has optical).
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm a fan of windowed cases, would like to try and keep it as quiet as possible. These arent too important for me.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitor/keyboard/mouse - Maybe OS (Have a spare Vista Disc to use, but may want to upgrade to Win7).
I'd also like to put in as much storage as possible. Would like to start with at least 1TB, then add to it later if this isnt possible, then at least 500GB. Also, I'm not bothered about having a Blu-Ray drive as I have a PS3 for this and I just think it would be waste.
Cheers guys and girls!
