Well, after 3 years with my PC, I believe it's time for a new PC.
(6600GT, P4 3.2Ghz, 1Gig Ram)
I game at 12*10, but I don't really like to upgrade, so I don't mind buying something that today is overkill for 12*10 but tommorow isn't.
This is what I'm planning on:
Q9450
Abit IP35-E
WD3200AAKS
4Gigs of whatever DDR2-800 RAM
Pioneer DVR-212 (I don't realy mind buying something else, this is just the first thing I saw)
Now Basically what I'm not sure of:
Case
PSU
OS
GPU
For the PSU, I remember reading good things about Corsair PSUs, so I think I'll go for the 520HX or the 620HX.
Case - I don't know anything about them.
OS- I believe that having 4 Gigs of RAM will force me to buy Vista 64 (probably Ultimate), and I see no way around it. I love XP though.
GPU- the new 9800 GPUs are just around the corner (or so I've heard?) and the R700 as well. I'm not sure if I should wait or just buy a 8800GT... This is my main concern. Remember that I probably won't upgrade anything for at least 2 years.
That's about it, thanks for your help (If you think that I need to change the MB, or the amount of RAM, or anything at all, I'll welcome any help I can get)
