This is the spec that I have come up with, it is the first time that I am building a PC so I hope that I got this correct, I am wanting to build a PC that will last me a long time:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Q6660
Motherboard: Asus P5KC
Memory: Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR3 1333MHz Memory CL9(9 9 9 24)
the rest I dunno about - will Update soon...
any suggestions on the rest
