hi thanks for any help
I been planing for sometime to get a new pc (home build) and a new 24" monitor to come probably Samsung T220HD but may wait to get T240HD have to save a little more so need a good card to go around 1680X1050 or 1920 x 1200 resolution
Anyhow I got some parts in mind but unsure what else to get
Case: Antec p182
PSU: 620W Corsair HX Series Modular or something else quiet
CPU: Intel Quad Core Q9550 or Intel Core 2 Duo /E8500/E8600
Cooler: unknown probably not stock
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4 or do you advise something better
Graphics: Sapphire HD 4870 or Asus HD 4870
Hard drive: Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB I be adding another sata drive to system which is from old pc
Ram: 4GB Unsure which I will be running dual boot XP/Vista I know XP only addresses 3.5gb Would 64bit versions be better?
DVD: Tempted to go for a blue ray reader maybe writer
Pc Used mainly for gaming/and watching video, music
I saved about £800 so far. I dont want to make a mistake as its taken us ages to save and itching to get a newer pc before kids go back to school, as one of the daughters wants my old pc
