Been having a bit of a problem with a new build I'm deciding on. Basically I am wanting to upgrade my Motherboard, CPU with 3rd party CPU Cooler, RAM and Graphics Card. Probably a new PSU if I can afford it. I'd like to keep it at around £800 or lower preferably but everything keeps going OOS or just dissapear. Please any assistance would be appreciated with complete rig examples!
What I've thought on so far is:
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK - CPU (Epic amounts of Stock fail)
Abit IX38 QuadGT Intel X38 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard - Motherboard (Although apparently I'll be completely destroyed if I order from ocUK but this is the only place that stocks this awesome motherboard it would seem since it vanished off Scan today)
Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK - RAM
As for Graphics. Not a clue. ATI drivers still in beta means that performance could be badly misjudged. 9800GX2 costs way too much and getting an 8800GT may mean being left behind after 2 seconds of buying in the tech market.
I really just want a PC that's going to play games now and future releases fairly well. So please any ideas throw them here!
Any ideas on a good 500gb HDD makes would be appreciated as well.
