Hi everyone, My names Matt
, and his is my first post. I am planning to build my son a gaming computer (my first attempt) for playing COD4, crysis and Guild wars.
I have been reading through the threads till my eyes have gone fuzzy, and you guys go so in-depth about builds it's got me a bit confused.
I've got a GTX260 graphics card, a WD caviar blue 250gb HD,a Jeantec 700W psu, and a DVD read/write.
Now I need a mobo, cpu and 4gb of memory.
Do I go Q6600 quad core or stick with a good dual core?
Do I use an Abit pro or an Asus P5, or a gigabyte?
What memory should I use?
Should I upgrade XP to vista 64bit?
Aarggh!
Please help, I am gratefull for all your advice and views.
Cheers, Matt.
