Hi out there;
I am about to build my own pc in the New Year for the first time, and will
do it with a certain degree of future proofing built in.I have decided on the
m/board (Asus P5GD2 ..ht..pci xpress..serial ata etc) and the cpu (P4
LGA775..2.8ghz..800gz Bus) +
1g of DDR2 ram to start (needed for video work)Rest of stuff i already have.
Anybody got any tips, suggestions on best places to buy from , what to
avoid, pitfalls etc.
Also I live in UK, prices are a lot cheaper in USA, has anybody bought from
there and if so what problems is there ,and any tips on best sites.
thanks all
