hi all,

iv been away from the whole world of pc's/overclocking/gaming for far too long realy,

the spec of my pc is in my sig (good because i cant remember it)

im on a budget at the moment as i still need to spent a lot on my car and iv just payed 1400 pounds for wheels and tyres. anyway,

what should i do to get a bit more performance from my pc, so i can get back into the whole thing? should i just get a 8800 and upgrade the cpu ram mobo in 1 go later or get a cheepish mobo/cpu/ram combo now and a gfx card later?

advice on the best way to go would be excellent! i also need a psu as my antec true power died, thus the reason i havent bothered with it.

Thanks,

Jason.
 
hi,

i priced up a system last night, how does it look?

Abit IP35 Pro,
XFX 8800 GTS 640mb
4 sticks of 1Gb ocz 6400
600W ocz psu
(i was planning on buying a core duo 2 of arround 3.2 ghz second hand, mebby clock it a little more than that?)
watercooled

im not sure on hdd's just yet
and i also fancey a lian li case (not sure on whick one yet) to replace my "modded" CM 201

as i have most of the watercooling bits allready that came to arround 600 pounds minus the case and extra hdds if i decide to buy more.

think i should be ok?

Jason.
