Just your typical "help me decide what to buy" thread - Hope this forum is ok.
I might have to buy a new computer this weekend if mine really is broken, which it probably is. I already have a video card, sound card, and monitor. Just need a CPU, Motherboard and RAM. Would like a dual core Intel. Don't want a quad core, I'm sure dual core will be hot enough as it is. Would like 4 gigs of RAM but trying to stay on a budget here, still, 4 gb of ram has never been cheaper: OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Though the rebate ends today. There are lots of equally good RAM deals at newegg though.
Will probably overclock, since I always do, but might just let it run at stock for a while.
Would really appreciate any help, even though it's possible I might not need to buy anything, it's good to be prepared.
