I've seen a fair few comments on here trying to discourage people spending unnecessary cash on components, so what would you use if you were building a decent bang for buck gaming PC?
It's always tempting when choosing parts to take a peep at the next level up hardware, then justify it coz it's only ten or twenty quid more expensive. I've been playing this game with CPUs at the moment, I convince myself an E2160 will be more than good enough for my needs, then I creep up to an E2180. Several days later a end up thinking of a Q6600 or better.
I'm still saving for the gaming system I want, but will probably go for something like an Abit IP35 board, E6750 Conroe, 2GB of Corsair DDR2 XMS2-6400C4, Corsair HX 520W PSU, 8800GT (or maybe I'll creep up to an 8800GTS
). Still deciding on the case.
