My Budget gaming PC Specs, opinions plz
Hey everyone, I know ye get a lot of these threads but I thought i'd ask here for a few opinions anyway. I'm building a low costy gaming rig for myself (First time builder/third time dismantler). It doesn't have to be able to play the newest games at insane detail, just support my CS:S and DOW addictions at a high level. I've been using my Girlfriends insanely overpowered laptop for about a few months now and i want my own rig
A few notes, I do intend to overclock, but not for a while, so i'll get a 3rd party cooler later on. also, i'm in Ireland (Hence the euro, and getting cheap parts over here can be a nightmare.)
Also an embarssingly newbie question: can i take my windows XP (and office) off my old laptop and use it for my new pc. it kills me buying it again
anyway, here are the specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420, 2.13 GHz, 1066Mhz FSB,
