Alrite people, so i have decided to splash out on a new rig, so i need your help as am a newbie here.
I will be using it for mainly gaming, eg Crisis, CoD 4/5, FM2009 n PES 2009 and the budget for this rig is £1250 for a full kit with monitor.
I have no experience with OCing but hope to learn..
So this what i have come up with, is there anything i can improve on and also im look for the most bang for your buck..thanks in advance.
