Well like a lot of people the new year means a new computer.
Im still not a 100% decided on the spec so some advice would be helpful.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (118.08)
Cooler: Zalman CNPS9700-NT nVidia Tritium Super Aero Flower (43.93)
Motherboard: Asus Commando i965 (144.51)
RAM: CorsairTwinX XMS2 Dominator DDR2 PC2-6400 2GB (195.04)
HD: 400 Gb Seagate ST3400620AS Barracuda 7200.10 (82.24)
Graphics: Palit 8800 GTS 640MB (258.36)
DVD: Samsung SH-W183 18x18 DVD±RW (21.56)
Case: Silverstone TJ09B (173.9)
PSU: Corsair HX Series Modular PSU 620W (96.35)
Cost+p&p: 1,150.38 (scan)
I would be over clocking the CPU but im not sure what to.
Ive been waiting for a 8800 GTS with a different cooler and EVGA are just about to release the GeForce 8800 GTS KO ACS3 SILENT 640MB (340.74 from overclockers). I know its almost a £100 more but its over clocked to near the GTX.
(GTX: 575MHz Core, 768MB 1800MHz)
(OC GTS: 580MHz Core, 640MB 1700MHz)
Im also looking for a 20”+ monitor, my current faves are the NEC LCD20WGX2, Samsung 215TW and Viewsonic VX2025WM. Again if you have a suggestion that would be great.
