hi guys,
ii really need your help in getting an excellent gaming pc assembled and would really appreciate the advice on every thing since
i'm no expert in the latest and the items that can work togather,

I'v assembled 3 times befor and every time i get the specifation from you guys and build it and it really went well for the last 3 time.

Wat i'v noticed is that when u build PC, parts shud go along with each other and your PC will run smoothly and run for years as long as u maintain it with good anti virus, cleaning regulary etc, also noticed that after few years when your PC starts crashing every few hour and u go
buy a new graphic card and hope your issue to be sort out, the PC and the new graphic card dont go along and it neva works out,
kz that wat happened to me in the last 3 PC's i got. they do last for 4 years and start gradually dropping in performance since i use them
on daily basis gaming and Mainly flying simulator. so thats why every time i plan to build a pci try to get latest and highest preformance.

thx gkay09

i wanted to ask if my current graphic card can be compitable with wat you have sugested - i have the GTX 285 XFX

do u think i can use it? kz according to one of the sales guys, that this series will be dicontinued soon and prefer to go to a new graphic card, wat do u think?

 
^ The GTX 285 is a powerful card, but is about 2 gen old,... If you want to stick with it, then its fine,... but you get many cards, which are cheaper, perform as good or even better and consume less power and give out less heat,... And the sales guy is right that it will be discontinued pretty soon,...
