I'm looking at replacing my old PC as it's gone beyond the point of upgrading. Athlon 64 3200, 1gb ram, ATI 9800pro - all from ocuk years ago.
Primary use would be for iRacing. Secondary uses are for occassional architectural jobs and/or renderings. (Nice to see I've got my priorities straight
)
Will be re-using monitor, keyboard, mouse. Already have Windows 7 disc.
I've currently got together this spec:
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Edimax EW-7128G 54Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-041-EX
Sub Total : £450.35
Before I order I have a few basic queries:
1) A tri-core would suit my needs but will still be looking at unlocking the 4th core. If so, would I need a better cpu cooler or is stock ok?
2) Have I got the right psu and memory?
3) Would I need any additional fans in the case or is the one supplied enough?
Thanks.
