It has been around 4years since I built my last machine, however the old girl is just getting abit to slow.
Currently I have a Core2Duo running at 4.5Ghz 8gig ddr2 ram. I am in need of something a little more powerful.
I would like the follow components:
My only other factor would be that I need a case that I can transplant my water cooling into at some point. I am not going to do this straight away I will run it on stock until I get the time to do it (Probably around Christmas). The water cooling will be just for the CPU no GFX, I have a bay reservoir XSPL something pump and a double depth 240 radiator.
I am getting stuck with motherboard choice tbh there are so many and I don't have the time to research them properly.
I don't have a budget in mind however lets say between £500 - £600.
Any help would be great.
