Afternoon!
Long time member that hasn't posted in a while, but in desperate need of an upgrade, as my system is feeling sluggish, even after formatting.
I currently run a E6850 Core2Duo 3Ghz, with 2Gb ram and a poverty spec graphics card. My PC is mainly used to play Football Manager, surf the web, watch movies, play music, etc.
I have a budget of £1,500 for everything and it needs to include decent 2.1 speakers, a 24" monitor, an O/S, and 4 x 2TB hard disks. Nothing from my current system will be retained, as it's finding a new home with my mum.
There's so much choice out there and I can't decide what gives me the most for my money. My most important need is a nice, fast system that can process data quickly (football manager with large database and several countries is quite intensive).
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. For reference, this is my most recent effort...
