Hey, my current pc is pretty fail, so im going with a whole new pc. My budget is around £500 -£600, and I decided to go with pc specialist, because, although they build it for you, the prices are relatively cheap. This is what i've come up with and it totals at £535.
Intel® Core™2 Quad Q9550 (2.83GHz) 1333MHz FSB (Special Offer)
4GB CORSAIR XMS2 800MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY! (2x2GB)
ASUS® P5QL: DDR2, SATAII, PCI-e x16, 3 PCI, 2 x PCI-e x1
250GB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7,200rpm)
22x DUAL LAYER LIGHTSCRIBE DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM
1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 4870 PCI EXPRESS
STYLISH SILVER/BLACK TRIDENT CASE + 2 FRONT USB
700W Quiet Quad Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan (£58)
However, some people were telling me there is no point getting quad core now that core i7 is out, because it will be outdated soon. For me though, with core i7 on there it goes a fair bit over my budget. Do i buy this or keep saving up for i7? Thanks
