now i normally stick to the 360 these days but diablo 3 is only weeks away and with me putting most of my high school years into diablo 2 i cant miss this.
my current pc hasnt seen an upgrade for a few years so i think i need fresh bar monitor, keyboard and mouse.
now i happened to receive a nice cheque from the tax man a few days ago for £370.
i can put a bit to this but not much as im saving for a wedding.
so can i get a gaming pc for £400 to absolute max £500?
my monitor is a 20" dell ultrasharp so res is 1680x1050.
it would be good if i can get something that will still cope if i upgrade to say a 24" monitor.
my old pc i would want to keep running as a media streamer but if anything can be used it has
q9400
4gb ram
i think a 5850
corsair 600w psu
the 5850 was the last thing to go in as it replaced my 8800gtx that eventually died.
if i cant use any bits from the old pc, would i be able to put in a lower watt psu to help save on running costs?
ive been out of the loop of pc components for 5 years so i have no clue what is good right now.
it will be used purely for gaming as i have a macbook for general use.
spec away please and thanks
