Hi Folks,
Believe it or not im still using my aging P3 600mhz as of 2006. That is about to change however because im tired of waiting for things to load or execute, i have little patience you see. Anyhow after a little googling and reading posts on AnandTech ive been able to catch up with the latest technology and get a sence of what seems to be acceptable these days as an above average PC. Below is a list of components i have chosen to build my new PC with. My budget is around AUS $2000 (US $ 1,500) not including monitor/key/mouse/Case. I want to OC at some stage and want to play some of the latest games so i kept that in mind with the choices.
I leave the Thread open for your suggestions. Let me know if i can better spend my AUS $2000. Thanks.
