Hi All, Next week I will be buying components for my PC. Questions first.
1. Only ever used XP Pro, now SP3, So XP Pro has trouble running online gaming period. Leave's Windows 7. But which version? I have been shopping round online, I'm assuming I would buy the one that has OEM in title? Possibly 32bit? Some of the newer games coming out, you need 3-4 GB just to run them not including ongoing patches, and a really quick GPU.
Here's what the situation is:
Spend is at the utmost $1100 AUD including O/S.
Already have: Monitor, Speakers, Keyboard and mouse.
Really enjoyed reading forums on AMD Phenom II x4 Quad 965, the OC that was spoken of was interesting not for me at this stage, easy on me.
That CPU I definitely would like, other fave products: Thermaltake VH6000BWS or VH8000BWS very sweet features and the toolkit is nifty. In the future I'd like to put liquid cooling in add more GPUs. I was also impressed by the Antec 600 Full-Tower, again similarly to thermaltake's case they are both roomy for expansions in the future. Small request please be mindful my knowledge base is small on this subject, so please try to speak in layman's terms as much as you can for me. Thank you to everyone that helps / advices me here, muchly appreciated.
P.S Light up the Christmas tree favorite color is Blue.
