Guys,
So basically, I use my PC very frequently, but for mostly low level tasks; Ripping FLAC, encoding MP3 and generally dicking around on the 'net. Add in some light gaming (Football Manager, Civilisation and occasions CS:S) and you just about have it. However, I cant stand waiting little seconds for simple tasks and my PC is on 24/7 for torrents. So I want this build to be very responsive, without the need for ultra high end power, but also quiet and as energy efficient as possible. Also, smaller is better.
I have been holding off building my new rig for months, just waiting for the AMD Bulldozer to be released. I know it is next month, but was just hoping you guys could take a look at the spec I have picked out to:
a) Rate / Critique
b) Advise on if I should wait for BD! Is it going to be worth it for my usage / price point?
This, along with an ATI Radeon 4800 GPU, is my build.
