Chris P building a new PC

Post by Chris P »

I feel like a child again...

OCZ 4GB DDR2 1066Mhz Platinum Matched Pair
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit UK OEM SP1
Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.67GHz 3Mb
Asus P5B Premium Vista Edition > Asus P5Q Pro
WD 500GB SATA II 32Mb WD5001AALS
Antec Gamersgear Nine Hundred
Samsung SH-223F SATA black
Logitech Media Keyboard 600
Club 3D 512MB HD4850 Overclocked Edition
Coolermaster Real Power M700 Watt Modulair

Just ordered this online. Some things will take a while to get here, but I should be building it in just over 2 weeks time.

In the mean time, I just bought an LG Flatron W2242T off a colleague... so I'm really excited right now. :D :lol: :thumbup: :headbang:


edit: Motherboard reached "End of Life" status so I picked another one.

Should get some decent FPS now. 22" is much better than a small screen laptop to. Nice radiator =)

I was thinking that maybe he will get a quad when the prices come down again in 12 months or so. I see My e8400 has gone up in price since I bought one 4 months ago. :confused: It takes a long time to deliver 'cause he lives in the Artic. :santa: :mrgreen:

I can't believe the case cost near 100 pounds. :geek2:

Well I thought ATI's didnt play GTA, well that's what I heard. Maybe it's fixed. I've completed GTA 6 months ago so I'm having a laugh at everyone who has issues with it 'cause I know how badly they want to play it. :teehee:

Try to refrain yourself from writing b****cks like this... you're from NZ... your English should be better!

Anyway, yes I did only get a dual core Intel, because I can't afford a quad core and it's pointless for me at this point in time to go for quad seeing as I have zero programmes which are able to use more than one core.

JasonJ... the case is expensive, yes, but it looks good imo.

Dual > Quad ;)

Maybe in a few years it will be worth it, but in my opinion at this time it far far FAR better to get a fast dual core, then a slower quad core.
