Pandora Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 off topic: Second of Jan.. hopefully I finally get permission from my dad for a new PC.. I'm really getting sick of waiting. On topic: 8800 GT, great. If you want it in Jan, then disregard the following but nVidia is probably going to start with their 9 serie in Feb. Actually, you can disregard that anyway cause it's said to be a 9600.. So yeah, great. 500 GB HDD, I'd take less actually. But that just depends on how much you use, download ect. More of a personal choice. For the CPU.. I'm not very sure.. If you want it for gaming I think the E6850 is a better choice. Why? Well because it's a dual core and each individual core has more power and since most games don't multi-core CPU's and the ones that do support it can't really use it very efficiently I think the E6850 is a better choice. Oh, to think of it. Intel is releasing their E8500 CPU is Jan (unless I've missed something..), same price. Perhaps a better choice. For the memory. DDR2 is extreemly cheap now. So if you don't mind spending slightly more you could get even better and/or more RAM. Corsair is good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much you getting that for?Not being nosey or anything, just that I live in Aus, and wondering how much it costs you It is going to be about $2000 - $2500AUD. I'm not sure because i'm buying it off my uncle's comp shop, meaning it's going to be slightly cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
