Hello OCUK peoples,
I have decided to finally go for a new build this year and would like opinions and ideas for a new system. I am looking at keeping the price below 800 pounds but want the system to easily upgraded in the future in the form of more HD, new GPU, Ram and new GPU when they come along. What I would like to know is: (I know little about this stuff and going for my first build as well)
A. - Whats the best priced PSU that will last and will work with future GPU cards.
B. - Whats the best 8800GT/S card out for value and performance? Is the 9 series a better option? (Just need a card for COD 4, FOW and CSS ATM running them at optimum FPS)
C. - Best Mother Board around (Should I go DDR3?) for future proofing.
Below is a list of parts I am thinking about (purely from reviews and mucking around on the OC site). Are they feasible?
Case - Antec P182 Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Gun Metal Black)
PSU - Corsair 750W MPSU-750TX ATX12V v2.2 Power Supply Unit 5 year manufacturer's warranty
HD - 500GB Hitachi Deskstar HDT725050VLA360 SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM Hard Drive
MB - Asus P5K Premium WiFi-AP P35 1333FSB DDR2 PCI-E Motherboard
Mem - OCZ 4GB Performance Gold Edition DDR2 PC2-6400 (2x2 GIG) Dual Kit P.Code XTC (5-5-518) OCZ2G8004GK
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Socket 775 2.40 GHz 8MB Cache 1066MHz FSB Quad Core - GO Stepping
GPU - Asus GeForce 8800GT 512MB PCI-E 2.0(x16) 1800MHz GDDR3, GPU 600MHz 2xDual Link DVI-I/HDTV HDCP Fan Cooling Graphics Card
CDW - LG GSAH62NBAL SATA High Speed DVD+RW 6x CLV 8x ZCLV Black with beige bezel Retail Box
Main thing is that I want the cost under 800 and that the system is future proofed. Unlike my current disaster.
