Hello folks!
The time is nigh for me to get a new computer. The one I have currently is simply not up to the job, it also has the serious side effect of making me want to smash it with a hammer (because of it being laggy, and also because of that stupid noise it makes). So my friends. I am quite an intensive user and do a lot of multitasking; Photoshop, Dreamweaver, MSN, iTunes, Football Manager and Firefox with 200 tabs are often open at the same time for example, and I also do my fair share of gaming, so I need a pretty good system. Since I upgraded to Vista my current system crawls with its regular day to day tasks...when I get my new PC I will be upgrading to Windows Vista x64 (so I can have 4GB of RAM).
Thanks for your help everyone, I ordered all the parts for my new system last night! Oh yeah!
My current system:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+,
ASUS A8V Deluxe,
1GB (of crap) RAM,
nVidia GeForce FX 5500,
Maxtor 160GB hardrive,
I recently ordered a Samsung SyncMaster 206BW which I am loving so far, so I already have the monitor and I bought a TV card the other day.
So my new system will be:
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
Abit IP35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
OCZ 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 640MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB 5000AAKS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T 500 Dual digital DVB-T PCI TV Tuner card
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer 7.1 Soundcard - Retail
Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-620HXUK)
Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case
Enermax Aurora Brushed Aluminium Keyboard - Black
Icemat Blue 2nd Edition Glass Mouse Pad
Samsung Syncmaster SM206BW 20" Widescreen LCD Flat Panel Monitor
All the new items I ordered will arrive on my 18th birthday tomorrow! Woooo
