Well guys, it's become that time to retire the old AMDx2 setup.

So i'm looking into the core2duo side of things.

a lot of space is a must because i download a lot, and encoding videos etc.

i dont really bother with overclocking (never tried) so that's not a huge problem.

i wish to stay away from nvidia due to extremely poor drive support on their motherboards and graphics cards.

i do like to play games (mostly nfs @ high settings)

already have a 22" monitor so wont be needing another.

Price range is 600-800GBP.

So..spec me!

Note: Designed as an overclocking system (its worth it)

If your not going to overclock, i would suggest going AMD.

Have had nothing but Problems with AMD/Nvidia as of late, thus why i wish to move to Intel.

i would like to overclock, i just dont know how.

So your be fine with this Graphics card:

The reason i say this is because if thats not a good enough card for you and want the X1950XT, the 8800 320 is only 30 pounds more.

try the X1950 Pro then. I would really recommend the 8800 though.
